Upcoming Residents Rights Webinar: Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll
October is LTC Residents Rights month!
In observation, WHCA is offering training, information and resources, and a dedicated webpage on all things residents rights including a downloadable poster for use in member care centers. Tomorrow, October 3rd, WHCA is hosting an invaluable webinar to kick off this 12-week campaign. Join us for Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll!
Session description: Times have changed, and so have long term care residents. Older adults are the leading age group for a few different issues: they are having more sex and are the fastest growing age group for sexually transmitted infections; they are also accessing and using medical and recreational marijuana at increased rates when compared to other age groups. And alcohol continues as a featured discussion point. Join us for a two-hour webinar where we will discuss common social issues facing residents and the staff who care for them and explore ways to promote resident rights while wading through these oftentimes-tough situations. Approved for two CEs through DSHS. Register here.
