Event Details

Overview:

The relationship between a resident and their family has a significant impact on the relationship that family has with the facility.  Family involvement in the care of a resident can sometimes lead to conflict with the caregiving staff and a decline in satisfaction for all concerned. This discussion offers participants a better understanding of how to prepare families to deal with a loved one living in a long-term-care community, how to manage their expectations, what to do when families are unhappy and how to handle conflict and disrespectful behaviors, primarily toward direct-case staff.

Objectives:
  • Explain the regulatory standards and consumer expectations for quality care and quality of life
  • Describe the benefits of improved communication and coordination of care among members of the interdisciplinary team and residents and their families
  • Avoid and remedy family-facility relationship conflicts
