A free information session webinar to discuss an exciting opportunity designed specifically for long-term care (LTC) homes - the LTC Best Practice Spotlight Organization® designation program.
RNAO is listening, anticipating and responding to the needs of the long-term care sector during this unprecedented time.
How can we provide the best possible care to our residents? How do we create a person-centred culture respecting the resident as an individual with unique needs and goals? Check out RNAO's partnership with the Ontario Association of Residents' Councils (OARC).
RNAO was privileged to sponsor Lisa Davis, director of care for Extendicare Peterborough, to attend the 8th annual Nurse Executive Leadership Academy (NELA) through the LTC Best Practices Program. Davis, a dedicated registered nurse and leader, found this knowledge exchange forum to be “an enlightening and energizing experience.”
*Mary is a 67-year-old woman living with schizophrenia in a long-term care (LTC) home because there are no assisted-living facilities in her small town. Anti-psychotic medications keep her stable. Schizophrenia is a challenging brain disorder that often makes it difficult to distinguish between what is real and unreal, to think clearly, manage emotions, relate to others, and function normally. It affects the way a person behaves, thinks and sees the world.
