Overview:
Are you feeling it? We are moving into the next phase of our toughest worldwide challenge ever, the concern now for psychosocial wellbeing. And not only for residents but for dedicated team members and hurting families too. Tending to well-being is not only a good idea but also required by CMS. CMS guides that “individualized approaches” should be “directed toward understanding, preventing, relieving, and/or accommodating” a resident.
Perfect for this time and for each of us. Let’s flip this thing. Let’s be for each other, not against. We are in this together and proactively can come out the heroes, thriving, not just surviving. Pave the way for the future were individualized, resident-directed living, preferences known, choices honored, meaningful engagement, caring community culture, and positive relations are the norm and have replaced institutional living and working. Join us as we think of ways to come out even better than before!
Why you should Attend
Phase 2 of the pandemic is a negative effect on psychosocial wellbeing. Be proactive. Care for the psychosocial needs of both those you serve and your teammates.
