Person-Centered Care in Nursing Facilities: How to Make it Work

March 11, 2025

2 - 3 p.m. ET

ACCME & NAB CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE 

This interactive virtual learning event will review person-centered care (as defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and how being ‘other person oriented’ can enhance nursing staff and resident engagement. Content will also review practical tools to identify and mitigate the impact of stigma and bias around mental health and substance use, enlisting a collaborative approach to achieving resident care plan goals.
Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe person-centered care as it relates to nursing facilities and staff practice.
  2. Identify how stigma and bias induces assumptions that impact rapport building and interactions.
  3. Identify the benefits of an “individualized” approach to resident engagement.
  4. Learn how person-centered care as a collaborative strategy can help residential nursing home staff and residents achieve care plan goals.
