Long-term care facilities face increasing pressure to meet CMS emergency preparedness requirements — but most don’t have the time, staff, or expertise to maintain a compliant and effective Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) or Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP).

That’s where Heartland Emergency Preparedness comes in.

With years of real-world experience managing emergency preparedness across multiple LTCFs, I offer specialized planning services that help your facility stay compliant, audit-ready, and truly prepared — without the cost of hiring a full-time continuity planner.

Expert Emergency Planning Support — Without the Full-Time Cost

Planning

At Heartland Emergency Preparedness, we don’t just write documents — we craft living strategies that empower your facility to face the unexpected with confidence. From CMS-compliant Emergency Operations Plans to robust Continuity of Operations Plans, our planning services are the blueprint for safety, stability, and peace of mind.

Management

Your Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) aren’t just compliance documents — they’re the backbone of effective management during emergencies. I help you turn those plans into actionable frameworks that guide your team through disruption with confidence. From chain-of-command clarity to resource allocation and communication protocols, I ensure your leadership team knows exactly what to do — and when to do it.

Training

As a Continuity Planner and former Emergency Management Coordinator, I bring years of hands-on training experience in long-term care settings. While I don’t currently offer training services, my background ensures that every EOP and COOP I develop is grounded in real-world implementation — built to support drills, reinforce staff roles, and reflect how teams actually respond under pressure.

Our monthly retainer ensures your Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) stay current, compliant, and ready for anything — without the overhead of hiring, training, or managing in-house staff.
