We have
developed nursing home specific programs for the exclusive use of
our providers and clients. Each of our in-service programs require
only 45 minutes, but utilizing didactic principals accompanied with
handouts leave the participant fully knowledgable of the subject covered.
1)
Staff Survey Stress, designed to reduce the stress
associated with your upcoming survey. A
calmer staff is a better prepared staff.
2) How to cope with the stress of placement, designed
for family members of NH residents.
3) Resident Dignity, designed to teach staff communication
techniques to avoid complaints, or worse.
As you know, there is limited intervention a
psychologist can have with a person suffering from severe cognitive
impairment. We do encourage other types of intervention that have
a greater likelihood of success, and to that end are happy to provide
in-services in these areas.
