De-mystifying dementia and aging: what is fact and what is fiction.
Helping rehabilitation therapists deal with psychiatric disorders. I title it, "Option #6: Throw In the Towel" . Options 1 through 5 are strategies for dealing with depression, psychosis, etc. Option #6 is actually how to let go of trying to "fix" someone who doesn't want it.
Ageism and its effects on health care: how our culture's invisible prejudice against aging affects professionals, organizations, systems, families and elders.
Problem-solving groups: how to empower interdisciplinary teams to work cooperatively to identify and own their mutual problems and solutions. "Things We can do, even if They don't help".
Conflict management: how to get what you want in ways you won't be sorry for later.
Non-pharmacological interventions for depression.
Assisting with a loved one who may need long-term care. When? If? Where? How to decide the big stuff.
Hospital stays: Admission planning, Discharge planning, and managing the care of your patient so they are minimally debilitated during their stay. (for PT/OT as well as Assisted Living staff, including administrators).
Minimizing turnover of residents. Keeping Assisted Living residents independent and preventing deterioration into SNF/ICF facilities. Saving the Feds and state money wasted on nursing home beds. (controversial with NH owners, but of interest to ACLF managers).
