Dear Odile,
This week was the formal launch
of the Engage
with™ Older Adults Skills
Training Program, a new national staff training we have developed to
improve the daily lives of older adults living in nursing and
assisted living facilities and the caregivers who support them.
Engage with™ Skills Trainings are highly interactive,
delivered by a live virtual instructor, and offer an innovative
gamification approach in our virtual nursing facility environment.
The trainings emphasize a person-centered approach, dispel myths,
increase awareness, teach de-escalation and suicide risk
identification, and promote meaningful engagement. Program evaluation
by the University of Maryland School of Medicine demonstrated
reduction in staff turnover by up to 40% and improved staff morale,
ultimately leading to better resident outcomes and patient care.
Given the disproportionate impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on older adults and their caregivers over the past
year, we are proud to be able to provide this urgently needed
resource to the community at this time and ask you to help spread the
word.
Please take a
few minutes to help us achieve the most successful launch possible.
