Twogether Consulting, along with Nursing Innovations, is pleased to invite you to our live 2-day workshop training session open to all HCS/TxHmL providers. We will be presenting this training session at PPAT offices in Austin, Texas.
All HCS/TxHmL Providers now have the chance for Case Managers, Program Managers, Nurses and/or QA staff to attend this important live session. Please contact us ASAP, if you are interested in having any of your staff attend. Whether you are brand new to the program, need a refresher, or have just never received much-needed training, we hope this course will be extremely helpful to providers. We will provide certificates of completion of the course for your employee training records.
We will address case managers/care coordinators and nursing staff specifically about what the provider will need to do to serve the individual at both enrollment and/or transfer in the admission process, as well as continued follow-up once an individual is admitted to your program within the first 30 days.
This will include a discussion of provider responsibilities vs. LIDDA (Local Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Authority), such as implementing and monitoring services of the individuals in the program, and documentation of those services, as well as ways to ensure both waiver and non-waiver services are being received. We will review both the case management coordination side of enrollment by the provider as well as the nursing side in assessing needs and coordinating the nursing plan of care, staff training, and other expectations to meet compliance.
We will also discuss the initial admission packet the provider may want to put together, the items to request prior to coming to your program, the types of consents and assessments that may be required or recommended and much more.
This training is designed for 2 days, and you can purchase the entire 2 days for one flat cost or pay for each day you prefer to attend! Please ask Meghan Jones about group discounts.
You must contact Meghan Jones at meghanjones.tx@gmail.com to complete your registration!
Dates: April 29th & 30th, 2026
Location: Private Provider’s Association of Texas (PPAT) Suite E52, 8711 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78757
Day 1, we will review pre-admission and admission activities that are best practice for both the nursing staff and non-medical staff coordinating services for the individuals at enrollment or transfer.
Day 2 will consist of post-admission activities we recommend as best practice during the first 30 days, and some ongoing activities.
To register, please contact Meghan Jones

Sheila has been the owner of her own HCS program in San Antonio, Texas (Shine On Group Homes LLC) for 15 years. She has also been a consultant for Twogether Consulting for the past 3 years. Sheila brings invaluable experience to the team at Twogether Consulting, as someone who started their own HCS program, with absolutely no help, and had to learn how to navigate the HCS system the hard way. She is “self-taught,” as they say. Sheila was in the hotel management industry for many years prior, and her experience in that industry has served her extremely well, in particular with managing budgeting and financial parts of the HCS program, onboarding new employees as well as employee management overall, and lastly, dealing with change, which is always constant with HCS. Sheila’s “Shine On” HCS waiver program provides a supportive environment for individuals needing specialized care and assistance, focusing on maintaining independence and quality of life. They offer support and personalized care to seniors and individuals with disabilities. They aim to help residents maintain their independence and quality of life in a comfortable setting. Shine On is a family business as both her husband and now her daughter also work for the company, and the individuals are truly an extended part of her own family.
