Description:
Family members and other care partners are more than visitors—they’re vital partners in improving nursing home care. Meaningful engagement with these individuals is not only essential to resident well-being, but also effective quality improvement and organizational decision-making.
Join panelists Libby Hoy, Diane Mariani, and Jenine Ferrari to learn about the importance of family engagement and practical strategies to build trust, gather meaningful input, and create collaborative systems that reflect the diverse needs and capacities of community members. We will explore how to establish structured, ongoing opportunities for dialogue and partnership that go far beyond surveys or complaints. We will also discuss how family engagement in nursing homes differs from hospitals, home care, or other settings—and how to tailor strategies accordingly. Whatever your role in the nursing home community, you’ll gain tools and insights to partner more effectively with residents’ chosen advocates and foster a culture of shared accountability and person-centered care.
