February 29 – Compliance and Quality February 8: The Dementia Epidemic
The intent and objectives of this course are reviewed in tandem with the revised Federal
regulations for trauma-informed care and behavioral health. The numbers of long-term care
residents with dementia grows every day, resulting in new challenges to achieving quality-of- life
and psychosocial well-being. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on developing a personcentered assessment and care plan process. February 15: Do You Know Me?
Dementia affects every victim differently. This conversation explores the most effective methods
to capture a truly person-centered view of the individual. Addressing the needs of each resident
requires a holistic approach to understanding the pre-dementia personality and lifestyle. Comorbid
conditions, such as depression or anxiety, require careful consideration in the development of the
care plan. This session revisits some of the tools introduced during the dementia focused survey
project and their value in today’s assessment process February 22: Creating a Livable Environment
How do you measure the quality of life of an individual? How do you describe the culture of
your long-term care community? In this session, we will explore the elements and circumstances
that resulted in an environment that is truly livable. The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a
devastating effect on long-term-care as an industry and as individual communities. This session
offers a blueprint for rebuilding your community and achieving the cultural confidence and
trauma informed perspective required to promote healing and recovery. February 29: Compliance and Quality
The revised regulations for residents’ rights require that we establish clear criteria for
establishing capacity, particularly as it relates to the admission to and discharge from a secure
memory care unit. In this final conversation, we will review the elements required for a
compliant memory care environment. Additionally, we will review the intent and value of
utilizing the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement process to ensure that your hard work
is sustained over time. Presenter:
