SUMMARY:Mobilizing a Volunteer Movement: Transforming LTC Through Authentic Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness and social isolation remain critical challenges in long-term care\, yet volunteers are an often-overlooked solution to this crisis. This session will explore how mobilizing a volunteer movement can transform care communities by fostering authentic relationships that enhance well-being\, promote person-directed care\, and create a culture of connection. Attendees will learn how to recruit\, train\, and sustain a volunteer network that aligns with their organization’s mission while ensuring that every person in long-term care has someone just for them. \n\nA key focus will be on engaging older adults living in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) as an untapped resource for volunteerism. These individuals bring life experience\, empathy\, and a unique understanding of aging\, making them ideal companions for those in higher levels of care. By integrating CCRC residents into volunteer programs\, communities can create stronger intergenerational bonds\, enhance peer support\, and foster a more connected\, relationship-driven culture. Through real-world examples and actionable strategies\, this session will empower attendees to take the next steps in building a sustainable volunteer program that drives culture change and strengthens community engagement. \nThe live showing of this program has been approved for Continuing Education for 1.0 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS—Approval #20260722-1-A113037-DL \n\n\n\nSpeaker \n\nPaul Falkowski\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch Here

SUMMARY:Rethinking Dementia Care: Lessons from the Netherlands on Autonomy\, Innovation\, and Cultural Change
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Roshan Betkerur\, who was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 2024-2025 to work with the Aging and Long-Term Care research team at Maastricht University in the Netherlands\, studying innovative living arrangements and care models for people living with dementia\, will share his experiences and the research he conducted. He will start by explaining the differences in care approaches between the Netherlands and the United States\, particularly focusing on the deinstitutionalization and demedicalization of dementia care\, as well as the emphasis on promoting autonomy and independence for residents with dementia. \nIn the webinar\, Roshan will highlight various innovative care models present in the Netherlands\, detailing their operations and functions. The primary models discussed include Dementia Villages\, Dementia Care Farms\, and Small-Scale Home-Like Living Facilities. From there\, he will examine how these nursing homes provide care for individuals with dementia\, identifying common effective factors in their approaches; factors encompass\, but are not limited to\, redirection techniques\, freedom of movement and choice\, facility layouts\, care models\, and the cultural perspectives on dementia care prevalent in the Netherlands. \nFinally\, Roshan will share recommendations and innovative ideas that could be adopted in American nursing homes\, both in the immediate future and over time\, emphasizing the necessity for a cultural shift in dementia care that starts with small\, everyday changes. \nThe live showing of this program has been approved for Continuing Education for 1.0 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS—Approval #20260520-1-A112941-DL. \nSpeaker \n\nRoshan Betkerur\n\nWatch Here
