Our mission
Why person-centered compliance matters.
Regulations exist because someone's parent, spouse, or neighbor was not safe. HiCARE treats compliance as the practical expression of that care — not paperwork for its own sake.
Founder & Director
Mohamed Dagane
Leads every engagement — licensure strategy, survey response, and the leadership work that keeps a community steady after the consultant leaves.
Mohamed came to consulting from inside Minnesota senior care — the buildings, the staffing pressure, and the surveys — and started HiCARE so providers had someone who understood both the regulation and the resident behind it.
HiCARE exists to give Minnesota providers a straight answer, a clear plan, and someone in their corner before the surveyor arrives.
Our team
The people you'll work with.
A small senior team — licensing, survey response, policy systems, and training — so the person advising you is the person doing the work.
Ayaan Nur
Director of Compliance & Survey Readiness
Mock surveys, correction orders, and plan-of-correction follow-through.
Yusuf Warsame
Senior Licensing Consultant
144G, 144A and 245D applications, change-of-ownership, and provider enrollment.
Daniel Whitaker
Director of Policy & Quality Systems
Policy manuals, documentation systems, and internal audit programs that hold up.
Priya Raman
Manager of Training & Staff Development
Orientation, competency validation, and training records surveyors ask for first.
Our approach
Four things we hold to.
They shape every engagement, from a first licensure application to a leadership turnaround.
Compliance
Regulation read closely, then translated into something a team can actually run.
Leadership
Administrators who feel steady make buildings that feel steady.
Person-Centered Care
Every standard traces back to a resident's day. That is where we start.
Practical Results
Recommendations you can implement this month, not a binder that gathers dust.
