About Seattle Nurse Delegation
Our Mission
We believe that quality care should be accessible in every setting. Our mission is to bridge the gap between nursing expertise and community-based care through professional, compliant nurse delegation services.
Seattle Nurse Delegation was founded to address a critical need in the greater Seattle area: providing reliable, professional RN delegator services for adult family homes, assisted living facilities, and in-home care providers. We recognized that many care facilities struggle to find qualified nurse delegators who understand both the clinical requirements and the regulatory framework governing delegation in Washington State.
We understand that finding a qualified nurse delegator can be challenging. That's why we've built a team of experienced registered nurses who specialize in nurse delegation and understand the unique requirements of Washington State's regulatory framework as established by the Washington State Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission.
Our approach is grounded in the understanding that effective nurse delegation is about more than completing paperwork—it's about ensuring vulnerable patients receive safe, appropriate care that allows them to thrive in community settings. Every assessment, training session, and oversight visit we conduct is performed with patient safety as our primary focus.
Our Story
Seattle Nurse Delegation was born from firsthand experience with the challenges facing community-based care providers in Washington State. Our founders, experienced registered nurses with backgrounds in long-term care and home health, repeatedly witnessed adult family home providers and assisted living facilities struggling to find reliable nurse delegation services.
Too often, care facilities faced long wait times to schedule delegation services, inconsistent quality, poor documentation, and a lack of ongoing support. Meanwhile, patients who could benefit from community-based care were being denied admission or facing placement in institutional settings simply because facilities couldn't secure timely, professional delegation services.
We founded Seattle Nurse Delegation to solve this problem. Our goal was simple: create a nurse delegation service that care providers could rely on—one that responds promptly, provides thorough documentation, trains caregivers effectively, and offers ongoing support beyond the initial delegation visit.
Since our founding in 2020, we have helped dozens of adult family homes and assisted living facilities throughout the Seattle metropolitan area provide safe, compliant medication administration and clinical task delegation. We've trained hundreds of caregivers, conducted thousands of patient assessments, and helped countless patients remain in the community-based settings where they want to live.
According to the AARP Public Policy Institute, the demand for community-based long-term care services continues to grow as the population ages. We are proud to play a role in supporting this vital sector of healthcare in Washington State.
