A Mindshift By Jill Vitale-Aussem, LNHA, MMH

“This book is not a wrecking ball. It is a tough love guide to doing the magnificent things we all do in senior living in a better way.” —Roger Landry, M.D., M.P.H., President, Masterpiece Living LLC, and author of Live Long, Die Short

AG E I S M I S E V E RY W HE R E

“Ageism is truly one of the last widely accepted prejudices in our society. Fighting it is the most important work professionals in our field can do.” —Jill Vitale-Aussem, LNHA, MMH From greeting cards that mock the advent of another birthday to hair coloring and anti-wrinkle creams, we are told constantly and without apology that being old is something to be avoided at all costs. The negative messaging works. As a nation, we spend billions of dollars on anti-aging treatments. Our deep-held and often unconscious prejudices and beliefs about aging translate into a perception that once older people enter senior living housing, they have nothing meaningful to contribute to society. And it’s just not true.

With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 each day, the need for senior living is growing at a steep rate, and the aging services field has been hard at work preparing for these new customers. Current practices aim to bring the kind of comfort and amenities enjoyed at hotels and resorts to the settings we create for older adults to live in. But what if these efforts are misdirected? Interweaving research on aging, ideas from influential thinkers in the aging services field, and the author’s own experiences managing and operating senior living communities, Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living: A Mindshift challenges readers to question long-accepted practices, examine their own biases, and work toward creating vibrant cultures of possibility and growth for elders. Shining a light on her own professional field, Jill Vitale-Aussem exposes the errors of current thinking and demonstrates how a shift in perspective can effect real cultural transformation. Her book delves into society’s inherent biases about growing older—where ageism, paternalism, and ableism abound—and provokes readers to examine how a youth-obsessed culture unconsciously impacts even the most well-meaning senior living policies, practices, and organizations. Deconstructing the popular hospitality model, for example, Vitale-Aussem explains how it can actually undermine feelings of purpose and independence. In its place, she proposes better ways to create opportunities for older people to exercise choice, autonomy, and self-efficacy. Filled with empowering stories of elders who find purpose and belonging within their senior residences, Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living builds on AARP’s disrupt aging work and demonstrates that to truly transform senior living, we must dig deeper and create communities that promote the potential and value of the people who live and work in these settings. $31.99 • Stock #70828 • ISBN 978-1-938870-82-8

W H AT I S C U LT U R E CHANGE?

It goes by various definitions, but fundamentally culture change is a transformation of practices that move away from the disease-focused medical model of care to one that is relationship-centered. While culture change is a genuine challenge, it is very much an achievable reality. These resources will help catapult you and your organization toward person-centered care.

Lessons in Leadership for Person-Centered Elder Care By Nancy Fox Whether you are new to culture change or you have already been implementing person-centered care practices, the expert leadership and management lessons in this book will show you how to lead your organization to success! Transformational leader Nancy Fox guides readers in shifting their thinking and behavior away from the institutional model of leadership towards a more individualized one. Interweaving the latest insights about human, social, and organizational behavior with her own decades of experience in elder care services, Fox provides a powerful collection of succinct leadership lessons for all nursing home and assisted living administrators, directors of nursing, and hospital and home health managers. Her encouraging and inspirational style taps into the power of story and the wisdom of experts from diverse fields, making this an invaluable resource on making person-centered care a reality.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Personalizing Diets in Long-Term Care By Diane Hall, NHA, RD, LDN A person’s right to express personal food preferences and make dietary choices is an important facet of person-centered care. This pragmatic guidebook for administrators, nurses, food service managers, and dietitians demonstrates step by step how to honor residents’ food choices while also meeting regulatory requirements and reducing liability. CREATING A DINING CARE PLAN FOR RESTRICTED DIETS, STEP BY STEP WHATWEARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THE FORMS WE NEED TO SUCCEED

STEP

When a physician orders a restricted diet, an informed consent must be obtained to show acceptance or refusal of the diet order. A discussion will be scheduled giving the resident adequate information to make a reasonable decision. After the discussion, a customized care plan will be written to honor what matters most to the individual while keeping him or her as safe as possible.

COMING

INSTRUCTIONS Using the Informed Choice Made Easy tool, the following people will assist the resident and/or surrogate in developing a written record of what matters most to him or her: family members invited by the resident, his or her physician*, a care partner, a licensed nurse, the dietitian, the dining manager, the social worker and other appropriate health professionals.

INFORMED CHOICE IS THE GOAL: For use by nursing home and assisted living facilities to meet new state and federal requirements to support choice, this guidebook will clarify the process of honoring choices and at the same time keeping people as safe as possible. To accomplish that goal, this book: •

Provides a logical sequence of documentation based on Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) guidelines by first recording a resident’s diet preferences, social routines, preferred eating times and places, special physical needs, and favorite foods

•

Walks you through the creation of a personalized care plan based on the concept of informed choice

•

Includes cutting-edge forms for providing food choices to residents following the concepts of self-directed dining

•

Offers role play scripts to aid in staff training

*Suggest the doctor call in as an alternative if he or she cannot physically attend the meeting.

At the meeting, give the resident a copy of the Tip Sheet with Risks and Benefits for his or her prescribed diet. This is used as a guide to discuss the benefits and the risks of the diet restriction. Check off each relevant point while adding individualized comments about resident's concerns and/or preferences. As evidence of this discussion, we suggest written quotes, audio or video recording.

e e

The Informed Choice Made Easy tool helps to validate that an informed choice has been made after options and consequences were discussed with the resident and written information was given to him or her.

To honor dining choices, follow through on any actions the team needs to take to support and sustain the individualized approaches chosen. Document in the progress notes as needed. Update the Dining Preference form during the meeting process and as needed.

•

Request that the person sign the documentation tool as a record of his or her informed consent of diet. Request all the people in attendance also sign the document. The team uses this information to write the care plan.

At least quarterly, and as needed, inform and educate the resident about his or her diet and plan of care. Review with resident the outcome of the planned approaches and document the discussion. As part of Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) initiative, review actions taken to accommodate dining choices of the people in the community to help identify opportunities for Performance Improvement Projects (PIP).

THE VALIDATION METHOD WHAT IS THE VALIDATION METHOD?

The Validation Method Simple techniques for communicating with people with dementia

Validation is a method of communication with people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. With the Validation Method, you accept the person’s view of reality, without judgment, and become an empathetic listener. This method offers simple, practical techniques to help restore dignity in those with dementia and improve well-being. Caregivers who use the Validation techniques focus on the expressed feelings of older adults, rather than focusing on disorientation and confusion.

The Techniques of Validation

Since its inception in 1989, the Validation Method has been adopted by over 10,000 agencies worldwide.

Positive results for residents, caregivers, and families •

Relationships with residents are built on empathy and trust

Person First, Diagnosis Second

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS PROGRAM WHAT IS THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS? This experiential program is designed to help care staff gain a deeper understanding of the day-to-day challenges faced by the residents in their care. Staff agree to simulate a diagnosis and live alongside their own residents, experiencing the same care as the residents and facing similar daily challenges. The result is a firsthand learning experience about the value of compassionate, person-centered care practices.

Through the Looking Glass creates better caregivers— whether in short-term rehabilitation or long-term care— ones who care not only for the residents, but with them. By reading the staff’s unique experiences, you learn about the challenges of loss; learned helplessness; the role of the care partner vs. caregiver; the meaning of loneliness; the need to “slow down”; the effects of incontinence; the importance of communication; the meaning of “behaviors”; the role of family; and much more.

What Living as a Resident Can Teach Long-Term Care Staff The Power of Empathy to Transform Care

What is Experiential Training and Learning? Experiential learning is an effective process of learning through personal experience and hands-on interactions. The Through the Looking Glass program is a powerful example of experiential training to build empathy.

“Gives the reader a step-by-step guide to implementing this amazing program without incurring high labor cost or capital expense. The results of the Namaste program at EPOCH buildings have been nothing short of heartwarming and wonderful for all who are touched by it.”

Skilled nursing facilities, assisted living memory care communities, and hospice organizations see many positive outcomes from implementing Namaste Care, including improved resident quality of life, increased family involvement, and strengthened staff morale.

The Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) Scale If a resident with advanced dementia is unable to communicate that they are in pain, then the PAINAD Scale is a useful assessment tool. The tool is used to diagnose pain by measuring breathing, negative vocalization, facial expression, body language, and consolability. This Scale is easy to use, objective, reliable, and valid. $44.99 • healthpropress.com/namaste • Stock #70026 • ISBN 978-1-938870-02-6

God does not cause our misfortunes. Some are caused by bad luck, some are caused by bad people, and some are simply an inevitable consequence of our being human and being mortal, living in a world of inflexible natural laws. —Rabbi Harold Kushner 29

Pay attention. Gather up moments of joy and handle them again and again. Tell stories. Laugh together. Make memories. Discover the holy in the day to day.

Freedom may come not from being in control of life but rather from a willingness to move with the events of life, to hold on to our memories but let go of the past, to choose, when necessary, the inevitable. We can become free at any time. —Rachel Naomi Remen

NEW! The Hospice Team Who We Are and How We Care Edited by Rabbi Dr. Chaim Joseph Wender, F.LBC, and Patricia Ellen Morrison, L.C.S.W. Thinking and talking about the reality of death is daunting and scary, but this series of 21 essays from 9 disciplines of hospice care will demonstrate that the end of life can be filled with profound comfort and hope.

EBOOK

From the experiences of those who work in hospice, you will discover what hospice truly is and the many ways in which the hospice team cares for those who are approaching the end of life. The efficacy of hospice care lies in the careful coordination and individual contributions of the interdisciplinary team members. Deeply personal, compelling, and honest accounts express a unifying theme of working together to lessen pain and suffering—physical, spiritual, emotional, familial—at a very vulnerable time for those in hospice and for their families and loved ones. The essays also dispel common misconceptions about hospice, including the idea that it supports the hastening of death.

Environment and Communication Assessment Toolkit (ECAT) for Dementia Care Proven Assessment to Improve Quality of Life As communication skills decline in people with dementia, a supportive environment becomes crucial to a resident’s ability to express needs and desires. The Environment and Communication Assessment Toolkit (ECAT) for Dementia Care, is an evidence-based toolkit to help you recognize what physical and social changes will help improve functioning and communication.

In three easy-to-follow steps, the ECAT Assessment Forms help you: 1. Assess activity performance 2. Evaluate the environment to identify barriers and problems 3. Pinpoint interventions that will reduce typical problems encountered during routine ADLs

and Hearing Science, The Ohio State University

ECAT at a glance: What is assessed: Personal and public spaces, visibility, wayfinding and navigation, contrast, sound and light levels Who completes it: SLPs, OTs, PTs, nurses, social workers, case managers, therapeutic recreation professionals, and other dementia care professionals Time required: 30–60 minutes depending on individual’s level of functioning and supportive features in the environment Evidence base: Tested across a 3-year development period funded by the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders with strong effectiveness outcomes across four measures (clinical knowledge, impact on practice, utility of information, and usability of materials) Expert developers and advisors: ECAT was developed by a team of speechlanguage pathologists and architects who specialize in dementia care, with the support of an expert Technical Advisory Committee as well as a Clinical Review Panel of rehabilitation, nursing, and activity professionals working in long-term care communities Clinicians will find that the ECAT toolkit:

MONTESSORI METHODS

WHAT IS THE MONTESSORI APPROACH?

The Montessori approach is a teaching style focused on engagement in life and on the unique needs, interests, and level of ability of the individual. Originally used in childhood education, researchers have developed proven programs for adults with cognitive loss. Montessori activities are meant to be self-directed, hands-on, and collaborative, and can be broken down into steps that are accessible to the person with dementia, allowing the person to be as independent as possible in all aspects of life.
