The COVID Era: Workforce Strategies for Adapting and Succeeding
August 25, 2020 | 1:00 – 2:00 pm

A new era of staffing challenges is here. COVID-19 presented the world with many uncertainties, but one truth remains—the only way to ensure quality resident care and the success of your organization is a stable, engaged workforce. Join us for this hour-long webinar for a discussion on how COVID-19 has shaped the state of senior care both today and for the future.

Leading human resources expert Peter Corless of OnShift will share real-life examples of the tactics senior care providers are adapting to meet this new way of life.

NAB approval pending.

Documentation for Activity Professionals Webinars
August 19, and 26, 2020 | 2:00 pm

Activity professionals play a critical role in the psychosocial well-being of nursing facility and assisted living residents. They also play a vital role in compliance with regulatory requirements and documentation for care plans.

As a refresher for experienced activity team members or an introduction for new activity professionals in both settings, Mary Chiles, Chiles Healthcare Consulting, LLC, will lead two upcoming webinars specifically focused on documentation related to activities.

These sessions will introduce elements of resident assessment, individualized interdisciplinary activity care plans, and documentation consistent with regulatory requirements for both nursing and assisted living facilities. We will review the importance of accurate attendance records, methods of service delivery, treatment modalities, and restorative programs.
