Shully’s experience with senior care organizations goes further than being an administrator. He first began his career working in and experiencing various departments within a nursing home. He started in the activities department which helped him understand how valuable stimulation is to the residents of the nursing home. This experience taught him that without stimulation, residents are prone to deterioration. 


Shully later worked in the housekeeping and laundry departments of a 240-bed nursing home, and became quickly aware of the challenges these departments face. He was quick to develop solutions then, and even today, the well-run housekeeping and laundry departments in his own facilities reflect his lessons of the past.


When nursing homes are successful, operators are able to do more for residents and employees. Shully Braunstein truly understands the ins and outs of running a nursing home (and adds a personal touch). He has successfully built several nursing home teams and improved multiple senior care organizations. 


During his time working with senior care facilities, each has seen significant increases in care ratings and quality measures. As a result, Sympaticare’s facilities have become employers and organizations of choice for staff, families, healthcare providers, and residents. 


Combining his resources, passion for senior care, and experience working with nursing homes, Shully has big dreams about the future of Sympaticare. “I want to take mom-and-pop nursing homes that struggle and see the importance of providing good care and give them the resources they need to be able to own and operate their own nursing homes,” said Braunstein. 


With the help of Shully Braunstein, Sympaticare is committed to providing independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facility owners/operators with the tools they need to establish and/or operate successful, state-of-the-art, and high-quality elder care facilities.
