Aug. 28 — PRNewswire — With more than three decades of leadership in post-acute and long-term care, Dr. Kenneth L. Scott Jr., DO, CMD, is using his experience and passion to change the way America thinks about senior care.
As CEO of SilverSage Management Services, Dr. Scott has built a career on driving collaboration, improving quality and reducing costs in senior care. Today, he extends that impact through nationwide consulting and speaking engagements, helping healthcare leaders create high-performing teams and deliver exceptional care. Healthcare administrators and event organizers can book Dr. Scott for consulting or speaking opportunities through the SilverSage website.
“We believe healthcare should be more than a system — it should be a source of healing, hope and human connection,” says Dr. Scott. “Our mission is to reimagine care in acute, post-acute and long-term care settings, restoring dignity, compassion and clarity to every patient encounter.”
Dr. Scott has spent his career at the intersection of medicine and leadership. From his early years as a hospitalist managing large clinical teams to serving as chief medical officer of Life Care Centers of America, he has built a reputation as a trusted expert in the field. His pioneering work has demonstrated that facilities with full-time doctors on staff not only delivered better quality of care but also saved significant costs by reducing rehospitalizations and improving patient outcomes.
At SilverSage, Dr. Scott continues to advance this philosophy: Every nursing home deserves a full-time physician. He helps facilities overcome staffing challenges, regulatory pressures and fragmented communication by creating “dream teams” where administration and staff work in harmony. Through consulting, he guides senior care leaders to implement proven strategies that reduce costs while strengthening care delivery.
As a sought-after speaker and consultant, Dr. Scott shares practical insights on issues that matter most to senior care administrators:
- Safe transitions of care.
- Having doctors at the bedside.
- Building trust with families and communities.
- Reducing unnecessary hospitalizations.
- Delivering compassionate, cost-effective care.
Dr. Scott also offers free education for administrators, clinicians and families through his email course, “The Ultimate Post-Acute Long-Term Care Roadmap,” available at silversageusa.com/education. This course provides a step-by-step guide for navigating compliance and building systems that improve both care and financial performance.
“True transformation happens when leadership teams include physicians as essential partners, dedicated to delivering high-quality, deeply personal care,” Dr. Scott says. “By investing in people as much as in technology, we can create a future where care is better, more affordable, more humane and accessible to all.”
From the podium to the boardroom, Dr. Scott inspires leaders to think differently about senior healthcare. His ability to blend medical expertise with operational insight makes him a unique voice in the industry. Through SilverSage, he offers not only guidance but also a movement toward restoring dignity and excellence in care.
