Wow. It has been a long time since I posted anything, not because nothing has been happening...rather because of too much going on. Our clients these days are motivated and undertaking whole floor makeovers - starting with the front entrance. Have a look at how much a door wrap transferred this hospital's ALC unit's (often a long term home for patients with chronic conditions) entrance into a warmer invitation to enter. This is just the start of many changes within. The reverse side of the door is an "exit diversion" designed to reduce a patient/resident's desire to exit. All credit to our client for her wonderful vision of her patient's living space. We love making our clients' vision a reality. *Also note the Welcome sign addition to side banner. #adultdaycare,#memorycare,#alzheimerscare,#dementiacare,#carehomes,#carehomeenvironments,#nursinghomes,#occupationaltherapy,#recreationaltherapy,#behavioursupports,#behaviorsupports,#behavioursupportsontario,#psychogeriatricresourceconsultants,#hospitalenvironments,#hospicecare,#hospitalalc,#ltc,#longtermcare

POLST Illinois (Practitioner Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment)has lots of resources for care providers on the Illinois POLST website. #polst #endoflifecare #polstIllinois #advancedirectives "It’s been found over the years that the messaging healthcare professionals deliver about Serious Illness Care is a critical piece of the care they provide. With optimal messaging, healthcare professionals, patients, and their caregivers can more effectively understand and engage in making decisions about serious illness care. The Serious Illness Messaging Toolkit was created under a grant generously funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and Cambia Health Foundation. Regarding advance care planning (ACP), their website states, “For the past 30 years we've messaged advance care as if people don't know what it is. But they do know--and that's why they're not doing it.” Their materials are available to all via open-source licensing and backed by evidence-based market research providing clear, concise implementation strategies for improving how we talk about serious illness. Here are the major themes: Talk Up the Benefits – For POLST and other Advance Care Planning that means letting people know that they can have a say in their care. Present Choices for Every StepUse Positive, Albeit Realistic, Stories Invite Dialogue, and Not Just Once – For POLST and other ACP that may mean several conversations prior to completing a form Invoke a New Team – For POSLT and other ACP that may mean talking with family members or someone from their faith community as they think about the decisions they are making."

What criteria would you prioritize in evaluating the effectiveness of #SNFatHome models? #PatientCentricity Boston-based Mass General Brigham, one of the leaders of the acute #HospitalAtHome movement, has received grant funding to evaluate the delivery of short-term rehab care at home to #SNFatHome.

Our healthcare system is built for acute, intermittent care. We NOW know: #dementia just doesn’t fit that framework. Innovative, evidence-based programs, like UCSF’s Care Ecosystem, have shown collaborative, longitudinal care improves the quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers. We’ve experienced it first hand at Rippl where every day we hear things like “you are a lifesaver” and “Rippl has changed our lives”. Why? Because we train our interdisciplinary team to be prepared to help patients and their caregivers through all stages of the disease. There is a better way - and we’re #donewaiting. #createarippl #ripplchangemakers #moregooddays #aboutdamntime #LIVINGwithDementia Learn more about the UCSF Care Ecosystem here: https://lnkd.in/gaKbrrE6
