Addressing Resident to Resident Bullying and Aggression

Long term care facilities, including assisted living communities, serve millions of seniors across the country.  It is critical that providers ensure the safety and wellbeing of their residents.  This includes recognizing and resolving bullying behaviors from individuals residing in the center.  Long term care facilities offer a wonderful opportunity for seniors to socialize with others facing similar needs, but we cannot assume that everyone will get along, or that victimization will not occur.  We also must not accept this behavior as a normal process.  This webinar will discuss what bullying is, how to identify bullying, how to create a positive environment, and how to respond to incidents of bullying.
