Course Description
This 24-hour course offers every employee in long-term care extensive training in this growing and dynamically changing field. This course will equip employees in the aging field to understand the new cultural / organizational changes emerging which changes the institutional medical model that long-term care has been functioning under for decades to the model based on person-centered care and neighborhood concepts. Participants will emerge from this course with a significantly improved outlook on the positive components of living and working in the long-term care setting.
Participants will be trained to improve the quality of life for residents by understanding the regulations, the survey process, and how to successfully incorporate them into the new models for long-term care. Comprehensive training in understanding dementia and interventions utilized to maximize cognitive and functional capacities and diminish disruptive behaviors will be taught. The needs of the dying resident and their grieving families will also be explored.
This course implements interactive education to improve communication and conflict resolution skills and build effective teams. Healthy employee habits and skills that promote management of stress and burnout are explored. Participants will also examine the concepts of respect, honesty, dignity, and responsibility and learn life skills that will improve their personal and professional lives.
