Institute to Present at the Maine Health Care Association Conference October
17-19, 2006
Samoset, ME - The Institute for Caregiver Education will be
offering two sessions based in resident-centered care practices at the Maine
Health Care Association’s (MHCA) Annual Conference held October 17th
through 19th. MHCA conference organizers are anticipating that attendance
will exceed 350 registrants.
The first presentation, “Change begins with YOU: An Eldercare Professional’s
Guide to Leading, Managing and Sustaining Change” will be held on October
18th. The second presentation, “Transforming your Activities Program
into a Model of Community Life” will take place in two parts on October
19th. IfCE team members Allison Lantieri and Jim Kinsey will be delivering
the presentations.
Conference organizer Karen Michaud has indicated that Maine providers are
acutely interested in moving towards a model of person-centered care in their
homes. Both IfCE presentations will offer concrete tools to assist individuals
in their goals to embrace the philosophy.
The Institute recently delivered these presentations at the AHCA Annual Conference
in Las Vegas and the Pioneer Network National Conference in Philadelphia. “Both
were extremely well-received,” says IfCE President Annette Sanders, “in
part because of the focus on person-centered care, and in part because of the
blended teaching styles, which include breakout work groups.”
