Easing the transition from home to a long-term care community remains a challenge for many organizations. For most, the move is a last resort. A diagnosis of dementia heightens the individual’s emotions and increases the risks of untoward events, such as falls, altercations and elopements.

Insight into understanding and addressing relocation stress for people impacted by dementia is a focus of this conversation.

Explain the regulatory requirements for admission, transfer and discharge of residents.
Develop improved methods for the assessment and person-centered care planning for residents with behavioral health needs.
