1-Day Workshop

The Nurse’s Guide to Person-Centered Care

Sleeping, waking, bathing --

we want to live according to our own

daily life rhythms.

 

This workshop is designed for nurses who believe that residents should be able to continue to direct their own lives while living in a nursing home.  You will learn how to successfully change nursing systems such as medication administration and bathing to a resident-directed model, and discover how these changes will benefit not only residents, but those providing care.

1. Discuss the evolution of nursing homes from the early 1900”s to the present.
