Race, Religion, and Sexuality in Long Term Care
October 10, 2024
8:00 a.m.
Hosted by
Chatham Place at Mary Wade
138 Clinton Avenue, New Haven, CT
During this session we will be discussing some hot button issues impacting the long-term care of all seniors, those in facilities, and those who work in long term care or have loved ones in long term care. In providing proper care and evaluating a care facility, it is important to consider the make-up of the current residents and the caregivers, the social engagement that is provided and ensuring that the staff are trained to deal with different racial makeup. Residents and Caregivers often have a different make up and it is important to examine the impact that this has on quality of care when evaluating a facility.
Approved for 2 Cultural Competency CECs by NASW/CT.
