2-A: ASSISTED LIVING CONTRACT TERMINATIONS–SCENARIO EXAMPLES & OVERCOMING HURDLES

Attorneys Rebecca Coffin and Ryan Usher will provide an overview of the process for terminating a resident’s assisted living contract. They will discuss the statutory requirements and common mistakes made by providers. This session will mainly focus on case scenarios including when no one shows up to the pretermination meeting, when a resident refuses to be assessed for a new discharge location, and examples of working with the resident and advocates/case manager to find a location to best meet the resident’s needs. Examples will be provided on how facilities have worked with residents to accommodate needs and avoid termination appeal hearings.

2-B: DEMENTIA—ISN’T THERE A PILL FOR THIS?

Dementia is challenging, full of conflict, grief, loss, sadness, frustration, and debilitating to relationships! Who wouldn’t want a pill for that? After so many years of research, what do we actually know about how we can improve peoples quality of life, slow the progression and reduce the reactions, anxiety and frustration for everyone on the journey, including our staff?

2-C: CLARITY, EMPATHY & RESPECT: THREE FOUNDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE TEAMWORK ON DIVERSE TEAMS

This session will consider how diverse teams can be more effective, inclusive, and rewarding for team members by building shared norms that reflect the individual identities and experiences of team members. The same capacities that enable that—clarity and empathy—can also be extended to residents and families to drive exceptional service and enhance quality of life for everyone involved. Participants should come ready to reflect, share, and learn together.
