This week, we have Sharon Jackson, one of our Professional Global Instructors rapping up our #MeetTheTeam this month. We asked Sharon what organizations can expect from implementing the GUIDE Model and this is what she had to say: We believe organizations approved to implement the GUIDE model will be supported to deliver a more comprehensive set of services that should produce more positive outcomes for the person in care, their families, the participating organization, and society. I would anticipate important outcomes such as reducing: 1) caregiver burden 2) hospitalization and emergency department visits and 3) costs for all involved, to be realistic, given the types of services that can be delivered within this innovative model. Because we believe in this program and its many potential benefits, we want to urge you to apply to be a participant in this important program. Time is running out! Applications need to be submitted tonight by 11:59 EST. If you have applied already, we thank you for taking the step towards creating better outcomes for those living with dementia! If you need help developing your dementia program or are looking for extraordinary dementia training to help meet the training requirements, we would love to partner with you! Together we can make a difference in creating a dementia capable workforce, and society and achieving those positive outcomes! Visit our website for more information: https://bit.ly/3Hk5KQb

🌟 This week's #MeetTheTeam shines the spotlight on Sharon Jackson, one of our global professional instructors. We posed the question: How often should person-centered care plans be updated? Here's her expert insight: Person-Centered Care Plans are just that – person-centered, therefore, how often they should be updated is based on the individual’s needs. Any time important personhood information is discovered, or changes occur, we should adjust their care plans accordingly. Personhood information that is more likely to change in persons with dementia over time include: preferred routines and activities, cognition/dementia stage and the related remaining abilities, and overall health status. In theory, this process sounds simple, but in care settings, it is not as simple as it may sound. That is why we love to partner with organizations who are invested in delivering true person-centered care, as we have training and tools to make this much easier for their teams to deliver. As part of our Dementia Capable Care System and Implementation Solutions, we assist teams to set up systems and tools which make it easy for the direct care partners to document and communicate important personhood information and other changes to the leaders responsible for updating care plans. We train and mentor leaders to establish a schedule to review each of their clients on a regular basis. The goal is to ensure changes are observed, documented in care plans, and shared with the team. Ultimately the goal is to create a Dementia Capable Workforce of trained and skilled team members working together to ensure the individual’s wants, needs and personhood is always at the center of all care planning. If you are ready to implement effective person-centered care planning in your place of work, we want to partner with you! Reach out to us and together we can help those living with dementia, their loved ones, and their care partners to THRIVE!

Rushed doctor’s visits are making things much more challenging for dementia caregivers. To make medical decisions trusting themselves they need to hear AND also understand all of the care options available to their person. Often there isn’t the time to process all of this information in rushed visits. Or to discuss how each option could affect their person’s quality of life. But there is a way to maximize the time they do have with medical professionals and that is… —> Knowing and being able to communicate their person’s goal of care. ←—-- Tomorrow I’ll be sharing specifically about why goals of care are so important, but for now consider sharing this article I wrote with a dementia family caregiver/decision maker in your world. https://lnkd.in/gQdpU27B
