"Culture Change and Person-Centered Care: Celebrating the Vision for Georgia"

Описание: Presenter: Kim McRae, Co-Founder & Coordinator, Culture Change Network of Georgia (http://www.culturechangega.org)

The transition into long-term or elderly care can be a daunting one, both for the individual and the family caregiver. Keys to the success of creating "home" is the deinstitutionalization of care, the implementation of person centered practices, and keeping those in your care from feeling "homeless". The Cultural Change Network's Co-Founder and & Coordinator Kim McRae leads this session on improving and transforming quality of life for older Georgians in all settings where aging services are delivered.

Objectives:
1. Build common knowledge and ensure an understanding of the principles of culture change and person-centered care in long-term care settings
2. Identify ways in which culture change is already occurring and can be fostered and nurtured in the near future
3. Identify and address concerns which regulatory agencies and legislators may be able to address so that culture change progress can continue
4. Increase awareness, facilitate information sharing and promote partnerships between all stakeholders of aging services in Georgia
