About this webinar
Participants will gain insight into bullying within adult living communities and day centers. We will delve into the definition and incidence of bullying among older adults, exploring its unique characteristics and manifestations. We will examine the profiles of older adult bullies, their targets, and any gender differences that may exist. Understanding why bullying occurs is crucial, which is why we will define the five different types of bullies and shed light on the reasons behind their behavior.
The impact of bullying on the health and well-being of seniors cannot be overstated. Even a single instance can have long-lasting effects. It is essential not only to define bullying but also to recognize the warning signs, understand the physical and emotional toll, and know what actions to take if bullying occurs. To this end, we will review interventions for organizations, bullies, and targets, aiming to help communities minimize and, where possible, prevent bullying while mitigating its effects on victims. We will also discuss strategies for creating empathetic and supportive communities for all residents and staff members, fostering environments that promote care and understanding.
Social workers, administrators, nurse leaders, department heads, activity professionals, direct care professionals, and other staff who may encounter bullying situations. Appropriate for all providers, including nursing homes, assisted livings, adult day services, and independent living.

Fall Prevention Programs Across the Multidisciplinary Team
In partnership with LeadingAge Nebraska
Administrators will receive CEUs from LeadingAge RI
About this webinar
Falls in LTC settings continue to be problematic and costly. Understanding causes of falls (intrinsic and extrinsic) and methods of prevention is important in decreasing the number of falls for senior living professionals. In this session, the participant will be introduced to the background and scope of falls in senior living. Falls generally happen because of various and diverse risk factors and situations, many of which can be corrected. These risk factors are influenced by age, disease, and the presence of hazards in the environment. Several studies have shown that the risk of falling increases dramatically as the number of risk factors increases. The information within the presentation will allow the learners to identify ways for the multidisciplinary team to work together to assess, choose, and implement fall prevention programs that are compatible with your community. Principles of effective documentation for nursing to support delivered fall prevention services as well as ways to evaluate the effectiveness of a fall prevention program will be shared.
Who should attend
This webinar is intended for the full post-acute, multidisciplinary team in all LTC care settings, including but not limited to nursing, dietary, activities, and social services.

With the COVID-19 pandemic prompting changes to regulations and emerging antimicrobial resistant organisms, staying current is a huge challenge, This IP training series is designed for Infection Preventionists and Directors of Nursing.

Overview of sessions
June 25, 2024 | 2:30-3:30 pm ET - Intersection of Infection Prevention & Control in Food Services (60 minutes)
Julie Halfpop, RDN, LD, Director of Nutrition Services, Martin Bros. Distributing Inc.
Increased regulatory scrutiny on food safety and sanitation requires infection preventionists to play a critical role in preventing foodborne illness. Maintaining safe and sanitary food handling practices is essential. Workforce shortages and modernized household living models have expanded food services beyond just the culinary department. Individuals in nursing and activity roles may be the primary servers for resident meal and snack times, which is why all staff must have adequate training and expertise in appropriate food safety and sanitation practices. In addition, regulations require that long-term care staff know procedures for receiving outside food brought into nursing homes. This webinar aims to equip infection preventionists with the necessary steps to collaborate with food service leaders, staff, and personnel from other departments. By fostering collaboration, all staff members can play a vital role in preventing foodborne illnesses.
- Outline strategies for effective policies and procedures when outside food is brought to residents.
- Establish practices all staff must utilize to prevent foodborne illness.

- Define high touch areas of the environment.
- Review typical water flow systems in long-term care settings and areas with increased risk for bacteria growth.

Gina Anderson, RN, BSN, Senior Quality Improvement Facilitator, Telligen
This webinar is intended to help infection preventionists refresh the antibiotic stewardship program in their community. Research from the CDC indicates that 40%-75% of antibiotics prescribed in nursing homes may be unnecessary or inappropriate. Antibiotic stewardship aims to improve the treatment of infections while minimizing the side effects and adverse outcomes associated with antibiotic use. This webinar invites you to explore the Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship and discover evidence-based strategies to enhance your program. The webinar will be interactive as we go through an antibiotic stewardship checklist as well as other content and case studies.
- Describe the core elements of antibiotic stewardship for nursing homes.
- Design a quality initiative to refresh the antibiotic stewardship program.

What Assisted Living Residences Can Do to Prevent Elopements
In partnership with LeadingAge Iowa
Administrators will receive CEUs
About this webinar
Just because someone is older doesn't mean they lack agility. Having dementia doesn't mean a person won't leave the building with purpose. A lovely community doesn't guarantee residents are calm, happy, and comfortable. A secure living situation may not prevent elopement, wandering, or pacing. Even a beautiful environment might not keep someone satisfied, and planned activities may not be suitable or interesting for all individuals.
When we think of elopement, it's often associated with dementia. However, elopement is a risk for others too. It's crucial to regularly identify those at risk and understand that elopement behaviors will change over time. Staff should be trained effectively in preventing elopement and responding quickly if someone goes missing. We also need to anticipate reasons for elopement and adapt our approach, environment, and activities to reduce the desire to leave. Elopement can be deadly, underscoring the need for prediction, prevention, and protection to ensure a safe environment for all residents. This webinar will:
Assisted Living managers, administrators, department heads, social workers, nurse leaders, and other staff who may encounter elopement.

Life Safety Code (LSC) surveys are included in figuring the overall health inspection scores in a nursing home’s 5-star quality rating, which means compliance is crucial to maintaining higher 5-star ratings.

During this virtual education, attendees will gain knowledge of LSC and Emergency Preparedness regulations and will receive tools to aid in quality assurance and compliance to reduce LSC and Emergency Preparedness deficiencies.
