As the long-term care industry faces major challenges in regulation, finance, and staffing, the shift in demographics to a younger, more complex, transient population has added another layer of stress.  Resources to develop the type of care and service needed to address issues of long-standing mental disorders, substance use, addictions, and other behavioral health needs are in short supply. This session offers a variety of ideas for anticipating and developing common sense approaches to these contemporary challenges.  Improving staff education and training in behavioral health and developing strategies to address common symptoms and reactions in mental health are a focus of this conversation.

Learning Objectives:

  At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the impact of the changing demographics in long term care on quality of life and quality of care;
2. Explain the increasing complexity of social and ethical considerations in matters concerning capacity, advance directives, sexual expression, and medical marijuana;
3. Develop a well-trained, competent staff prepared to meet the needs of a diverse and ever-changing population.

Intended Audience: Appropriate to all disciplines and positions
