About the Founder
Meet Dalecia Jones
Founder & Principal, StandFirm Risk Advisory
I help Georgia assisted living communities identify operational, documentation, and information security risks through structured assessments designed to strengthen operational readiness.
With experience supporting healthcare organizations, I understand the challenges Executive Directors and administrators face every day—from balancing resident care and regulatory expectations to managing documentation, technology, workforce processes, and limited resources.
StandFirm was founded on a simple belief: organizations deserve practical, risk-based guidance that helps leadership make informed decisions and strengthen day-to-day operations.
My goal is to provide practical recommendations that help organizations identify risks, improve operational readiness, and support the protection of resident information.
