Accelerated Care Solutions has been recognized as Nurse Triage Services of the Year for 2026 by ElderCare Review, an honor that reflects the company's commitment to supporting senior living nurses and care teams by relieving the burden of 24/7 on-call responsibility.
This national recognition highlights Accelerated Care Solution's leadership in redefining after-hours nurse triage as a structured extension of clinical leadership- allowing onsite nursing staff to step away from constant availability while maintaining consistent, high-quality clinical decision-making.
What Sets Accelerated Care Solutions Apart
In its 2026 feature, ElderCare Review highlighted ACS for its innovative approach to after-hours nurse triage and virtual clinical leadership. Unlike traditional on-call models, ACS was built specifically to address the workforce strain and clinical decision-making gaps that occur when onsite leadership is unavailable.
By serving exclusively senior living communities, assisted living, memory care, and skilled care, ACS has developed a model rooted in real-world operations, regulatory requirements, and the daily realities faced by nursing teams.
Redefining After-Hours Care
After-hours care represents more than two-thirds of the hours in a typical month, yet it is often the least supported. Accelerated Care Solutions fills that gap by providing experienced nurse leaders who guide real-time clinical decisions, support front-line staff, and ensure consistent documentation and escalation.
Instead of relying on exhausted onsite nurses to remain available around the clock, communities partnered with ACS gain peace of mind knowing clinical leadership is always accessible- without compromising quality, compliance, or staff well-being.
Relief from 24/7 On-Call Expectations
ACS supports your nursing team after hours with consistent clinical leadership, helping reduce burnout while maintaining care quality and compliance.
Built by Leaders Who Know Senior Care
Accelerated Care Solutions is led by husband-and-wife team Mike and Lori McGuire, whose combined experience in senior nursing, operations, and healthcare technology shapes everything the company does.
Lori McGuire, a senior care nurse and licensed assisted living director with over 30 years of experience, ensures ACS's clinical workflows reflect the realities of senior care. Mike McGuire brings decades of healthcare operations and technology leadership, guiding the development of secure, scalable systems that integrate seamlessly into community workflows.
Together, they built ACS as a true extension of each community's clinical leadership- not a call center, and not a temporary fix.
Technology That Brings Visibility to Overlooked Hours
Supporting this model is TriaTech, ACS's proprietary nurse triage platform designed specifically for senior care environments. TriaTech integrates telehealth communication with electronic health records while guiding nurses and staff through consistent, protocol-driven triage workflows.
Beyond real-time support, the platform provides leadership teams with visibility into after-hours activity- why staff are calling, when issues spike, and where training or process improvements can reduce resk and burnout. This insight allows communities to proactively strengthen care delivery rather than react to problems after the fact.
What this Recognition Means
Being named Nurse Triage Services of the Year for 2026 reinforces what ACS partners experience every day: experienced after-hours clinical leadership improves staff confidence, strengthens retention, and enhances resident care.
As Accelerated Care Solutions continues to grow across the Midwest and beyond, the company remains focused on its core purpose- supporting the people behind senior care.
