Overview:

This program, presented in collaboration with Heritage Healthcare, will focus on defining the areas necessary to ensure person centered care, including safety, independence, quality of life and burden of care. These areas will be defined and addressed as they relate to allowing residents/patients to age in place as defined by their environment of choice. This one-day event provides an opportunity for attendees to learn how to engage their residents in making decisions related to their restorative care. The implementation of a successful Restorative Nursing Program will be discussed from a practical perspective and will facilitate an understanding of the importance of involving the interdisciplinary team in the development of the facility’s restorative program.

Presenter Leigh Ann Frick, PT, has focused her career on geriatrics and brings to this program extensive experience in restorative nursing as an essential component to heightening the quality of life for residents. She will review the required components of a restorative nursing program as defined in the RAI manual, as well as examining additional information supporting why restorative nursing is critical to individualized care programs and facility success. A focus of the program will be on regulations, clinical benefits and operational/financial benefits of an effective Restorative Nursing program.
