NNHQISpeaker: Sue Ann Guildermann, Director of Education, Empira, Inc., Eden Prairie, MinnesotaEmpira’s fall prevention program is a combination of nationally recognized, evidence-based fall prevention practices and practical applications from the most recent research findings.

Participants will be able to apply the principles and methodology of root cause analysis to the clinical conditions of resident falls and poor quality sleep of residents in long-term care facilities, identify the causative factors leading to falls and poor quality sleep through investigations and assessments, and explain the etiology of human wake and sleep and the human circadian in order to improve these conditions for the residents in long-term care facilities.

[B11] Expanding a Senior Living Community Without Cash or Traditional Debt

Speaker: Bill Wilson, Senior Vice President, Regional Manager of the Central States, Lancaster Pollard, Lawrence, KansasSenior living providers need to refurbish and expand their facilities to stay marketable and meet growing needs. At the same time, the capital markets (investors, rating agencies, and banks) encourage senior living providers to strengthen their balance sheets by building liquidity and not over-leveraging with debt. So what is a provider to do? How can an organization’s leadership fund its campus’ evolution without compromising the organization’s credit profile? Two alternatives to fuel growth are leveraging agency financing and divesting select assets. This presentation will provide capital market data and utilize case studies to evidence how senior living providers can optimally evolve by leveraging agency financing and strategic asset dispositions.

Speakers: Angie Szumlinski, BS, RN-C, RAC-CT, LNHA, Evolucent, Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Lisa O’Neill, BA, CPD, Evolucent, Ann Arbor, MichiganBehavioral documentation is frequently subjective and written while the team member is frustrated or upset with the behaviorally challenged resident. Reframing the intent of the entry as taking credit for good work and efforts at reducing behaviors can help improve quality of entries.
