Description:

This discussion will include an overview of the culture change movement, the primary principles of this ideology, and how this national perspective impacts the expectations of regulators and consumers.  We will discuss the nature of community and what makes a community attractive to potential residents.  Participants will be asked to help define homelike, an ideal all nursing homes aspire to but often fail to truly understand in a way that facilitates practical and successful application.  Changing demographics, coupled with the contemporary challenges of increased governmental scrutiny, declining consumer appeal, shrinking resources, and attractive alternatives, it is imperative for nursing homes to successfully address the varied needs of many.  Most importantly, we will discuss effecting true culture change:  not simply a project, but a positive and lasting change in the thinking and behavior of those who live and work in your environment.
 

This discussion is appropriate to all disciplines and positions.  Achieving lasting change and satisfaction requires the commitment and shared understanding of everyone connected to the organization.  Systems failures, poor communication, personality conflicts, prejudices, and office politics often complicate and impede an organization’s success in the day-to-day.  The issues of behavior and attitude must be addressed before true culture change can be achieved.
