Case Study: MedBest Fills Interim DON Position in 90 Minutes!

Client Challenge: A Sudden Director of Nursing Leadership Gap

In senior living and long-term care, leadership gaps can quickly cause disruptions. Late in the afternoon, after 5 p.m., a long-time MedBest client reached out with an urgent need.  Their Director of Nursing (DON) had a medical emergency, leaving them without a key leader. With residents, limited staff, and an open survey window, they needed an interim DON immediately.

-Immediately assessed the client’s needs and requirements.

-Presented a fully vetted, local, experienced Interim DON within minutes.

-Set up the interview within 60 minutes, ensuring a quick and seamless process.

Result: A Placement in 90 Minutes

After the interview, the client called back immediately, saying:

-“We’re all in!”
-MedBest made the offer, and she accepted.
-All of this transpired within 90 minutes—from first contact to an accepted offer.

Client’s Feedback: A Trusted Partner in Crisis

The client was eternally grateful, sharing that this was the second time MedBest had saved them in a critical staffing situation.
