We have had over 111 referrals for our CPC sessions and over 80 of them participated in the pilot program here in York,PA. We had a fabulous turn out and know there are many more family caregivers out there that could benefit from these sessions. We will be continuing the program in York County and expanding into Lancaster and Cumberland Counties in the fall of 2010.

Remarkable post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. They are coming to the web site but I have the feeling that “nobody wants to be first”.

Comment on Next Level of Activities in Long-term care by Kay Lynne

Oh what a shame that someone has given you the wrong impression of Culture Change. It really isn’t an “experiment”…. it is a reality for those facilities that are under the institutional model of care. Another term for CC is Person-centered care…. which I think is a much better terminology and is certainly the main focus of the Culture Change movement in long-term care. I would be very interested in finding out more of what is being done in communities to promote person-centered activity programming – the essence of community life versus arts/entertainment.

After trying the so called culture change experiment, we have gone back to traditional type activities in our facility. Our residents truely disliked the change, all of it, and voted it out as soon as they could at their Resident Council. They absolutely like, as Sherry said Bingo, gardening, van rides, socials and reminiscing. Our long term residents don’t even want to think about trying a computer, our short term medicare bring their laptops if so inclined. This generation is not ready for these changes, they are the men and women who lived through the depression and WW11. They have had enough changes in their lives and are enjoying being able to choose to not participate if they please. Now when my generation comes along, very soon, we will want hot tubs, espresso, computers and we will be an expensive lot to care for. They need to think about that while our government is “changing” health care.

We had over 100 people join us for this educational seminar at Cross Keys Village. This was terrific! There are so many people out there caring for someone with dementia. It is wonderful that these caregivers want to learn more and be even a better caregiver or support to families and friends.

Contact us for more information and to learn of the schedule of training sessions both in York during the daytime and at Cross Keys Village in the evenings. 843-1504 or gncbizoffice@goodnewsconsulting.com
