How often must we complete an abuse prevention in-service?

Facilities must train all staff on abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation at least annually, and again at orientation for new hires. Document attendance, competency, and the content used.

Built for Healthcare. Backed by Human Expertise.
Ask a DON combines focused regulatory intelligence, practical workflow support, and human oversight — helping healthcare professionals spend less time searching and more time leading and caring.
1:00Why Ask a DON Is Different — 60 Seconds
How Ask a DON differs from general-purpose AI: healthcare regulation, quality, and human oversight.
Focused on regulation and quality
Built for healthcare regulation, compliance, quality, survey readiness, staffing intelligence, and operational support — not open-ended conversation.
Connected to trusted, relevant sources
Responses are tied to source material, citations, effective dates, and regulatory guidance when available — with the why and the next step, not just the text.
Backed by human expertise
Human review, professional oversight, and human support stay in the loop. Ask a DON supports healthcare professionals; it does not replace judgment, clinical decisions, or legal counsel.
The platform
An AI compliance partner, always in motion
Answers in seconds, not afternoons
Federal and state requirements, interpreted in plain language with the citation attached — so you can act with confidence.
Figures describe platform capability and coverage, not audited customer outcomes. Regulatory coverage spans all 50 states plus DC; every answer carries its citation so you can verify it at the source.
Currently showing feature: Instant regulatory research
Healthcare regulations. Verified by state.
Hover any state for its live status — explained like a DON, not like a rulebook.
Your compliance program, on autopilot
Ask a DON works through your requirements step by step — checking off the work that usually lives on someone's desk.
Know exactly where you stand
A guided intake maps your facility type, state, and current programs, then builds your compliance baseline.
- Facility profile & state requirements identified
- Existing policies reviewed for gaps
- Risk areas prioritized by survey impact
Comparison
How Ask a DON compares
Most teams are choosing between a general AI tool, a consultant on retainer, and the binder that has always been there. Here is where Ask a DON fits.

| Available the moment a question comes up | Yes | Yes | No | Partly |
| Drafts policies for your care setting | Yes | Partly | Yes | No |
| Built by post-acute clinical leaders | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Cost stays predictable as questions grow | Yes | Yes | No | Partly |
Comparison reflects the general category of each alternative, not any specific vendor or firm.
