FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Institute for Caregiver Education Offices to Move to Grounds of Eldercare
Community in Chambersburg
Move Offers Classroom and Laboratory Space to Meet Increased Requests
for Caregiver Instruction
On May 30th, The Institute for Caregiver Education moved across
Chambersburg to 1995 Wayne Road. For the last four years, the Institute
has retained office space in the Sentry Corporate Center on 5th Avenue. The
move
was prompted by the fact that the Institute has been offered office space
adjacent to the Providence Place Retirement Community on Wayne Road.
“Our
mission is to foster the highest quality of life for elders through professional
development
and continuing education for caregivers. That said, we have been isolated
from the day-to-day challenges of living and working around elders in our
old offices
on 5th Avenue, “says IfCE President, Annette Sanders. “This
move affords us the opportunity to surround ourselves with elders and caregivers
in a way that has not been possible in the past.”
In addition to
the office space, which is a stand alone building that sits on the Providence
Place
property, the Institute for Caregiver Education has also been offered
the exclusive use of over 2,000 square feet of laboratory and classroom space
located in
the basement floor of the retirement community.
The Institute for Caregiver
Education is a leader in caregiver Education in Western Pennsylvania
and
across the nation that offers ongoing classes in certified nursing
assistant instruction,
person-directed care education and a variety of in-service and CEU-based
instruction offerings. In the past, Pennsylvania-based education offerings
have taken place
in rented conference sites across the sate. This new classroom and
laboratory space will provide the Institute with additional flexibility in
the student
size of classroom instruction that it offers.
The doors opened
at the new space on 1995 Wayne Road in Chambersburg on Wednesday, June 1st.
The phone and fax numbers remain the same.
Over the last five
years the IfCE team
has educated hundreds of long-term care professionals on a myriad
of Culture Change topics at such national conferences as ASA, NADONA, AAHSA,
AHCA, ACHCA, The Pioneer Network, the VA Summit and numerous state associations.
The Institute
for Caregiver Education is currently a leading Culture Change educator
for a number of state QIO organizations as they work with the 8th
Scope
of Work
and CMS.
IfCE team members are eldercare industry professionals
from a variety of disciplines including nursing home administration, nurse
management,
home
care management, long term care education, leadership and organizational
management, healthcare marketing and communications.
