Progress on Culture Change in So. Maryland
DiariesPosted on Tue Apr 03, 2007 at 06:13:04 AM EST
Well, it has been slow but we are making some progress!
I am almost done with "In Pursuit of the Sunbeam". I love the story about Maxine kicking people out who didn't knock on the household's door - even the administrator. I love it. I also loved the story about the woman who would have her granddaughter over to bake cookies and they would spend the afternoon eating cookies, drinking milk, and reading books. That is definately a true home.
I continue to talk about Culture Change to residents, family members, and staff during inservices, meetings, etc.
Voices for Quality Care is going to host a mini Culture Change Conference on April 29th, discussing Quality of Life and specifically activity programs and what other facilities are doing in terms of Culture Change.
I have introduced one of the 3 nursing homes in my area to Voices and they are hoping to get them into the pilot program.
I have 3 new volunteers and 1 Human Services student starting in the Ombudsman program. I will start introducing them to Culture Change and have a few coming to the mini conference in April.
If anybody has any suggestions for other avenues of getting the word out and inspiring others, don't hesitate to let me know!
