Topic Tracks, Schedule, and Speakers
Topic Tracks
Residents’ Rights
Let’s discuss Residents’ Rights for all older adults living across the long-term care continuum. Gain knowledge from top professionals in the fields of LGBTQ+ rights, behavioral health and psychological changes, incapacitated person’s rights, and guardianship.
Doing It Right
This track covers crucial topics for those in Long-Term Care or Gerontology. We will cover interacting with dementia patients, responsible medication use, valid discharges, and conducting Level I & II assessments while upholding residents’ rights.
Everyone’s An Advocate
Formal training is not required to advocate for what’s right. Join us in Everyone’s An Advocate and gain the tools to lift your voice for yourself, your family, or the community. Knowledge is power! Join us in discussing advocacy, elder abuse, and how a family council can protect long-term care residents’ rights.
Forbidden Track
We are told to remain hush-hush about Sex, Drugs, and Death. When you refrain from discussing them, you don’t understand them, and later, you’ll have difficulty dealing with them. Come to the Forbidden Track, and we’ll discuss these topics loudly and proudly!
