SUMMARY:Community Innovations: When Professional Becomes Personal
DESCRIPTION:Michala Gibson and Mandy Shoemaker have been leaders in the dementia field for 10 years. The Prairie Farmstead\, a campus with three group homes on a therapeutic farm setting\, is a one-of-a-kind haven for people living with dementia and their families. When Michala’s husband (Mandy’s brother) was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in late 2023\, it gave a whole new perspective to the continuum of care and the needs of this growing population. \nThis topic is crucial for anyone in health care as our population continues to age and the number of people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of brain change skyrocket. Our system has primarily focused on caring for people in the end stages of the disease\, but as this journey has become painfully personal for Michala and Mandy\, they have realized some of the most challenging barriers come much earlier. \nParticipants in this session will brainstorm solutions to these earliest challenges\, learn about a new community approach that Michala and Mandy are spearheading\, and have an opportunity to put on their innovation caps to brainstorm potential solutions in their own setting and community. \nUltimately\, maintaining social connections for people impacted by the disease as well as their family care partners will determine quality of life for those on this journey. We have work to do\, but Michala and Mandy are working hard to highlight this urgent need and break down the barriers along the way. \nCEs available! \nThis program has been approved for Continuing Education for 1.0 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS—Approval #20251023-1-A107156-DL. \nThe Green House Project is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by Maryland Nurses Association\, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. This program is approved for 1.0 hour. \nApproved for 1.0 CEU by National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners and International Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners.  \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Turning Passion into Action: Policy Levers for Change
DESCRIPTION:Real change happens when concerned leaders and citizens can translate their advocacy and passion into long-lasting policy change. \nJoin two experts from the Center for Innovation — strategic advisor Anne Montgomery and communications director Alex Spanko — for a deep dive into the top federal and state policy priorities that are most likely to create significant and sustainable changes to our fundamentally broken eldercare system. \nAttendees will walk away with the context\, background\, and language necessary to advocate for the specific policy changes that will yield the greatest benefits for elders\, caregivers\, and family members. \nThis presentation is part of the Center for Innovation’s conference preview series\, a group of several webinars this summer and fall designed to highlight some of the key themes that will be on display when the Green House Project and Pioneer Network communities gather in Grand Rapids\, Mich. this November 11-13. \nSpeakers\nAnne Montgomery\, Strategic Advisor\, Center for Innovation\nAlex Spanko\, Director of Communications\, Center for Innovation \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Dining Environment: Optimizing Outcomes for Residents with Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Dining is a multi-sensory experience\, one which those living with dementia may not fully experience.  \nLower intakes at mealtimes can lead to myriad health complications and co-morbidities among those living with dementia. However\, newly developed programming addressing the multi-sensory nature of eating and the dining environment may enhance mealtimes for those with dementia.  \nThis session will focus on nutrition issues specific to dementia\, including nutrients and food components to support cognitive health\, issues with dining for those with dementia\, and evidence-based sensory techniques for enhancing wellness at mealtimes.  \nThis presentation is part of the Center for Innovation's conference preview series\, a group of several webinars this summer and fall designed to highlight some of the key themes that will be on display when the Green House Project and Pioneer Network communities gather in Grand Rapids\, Mich. this November 11-13. \nSpeakers\nJen Bruning\, Director of Nutrition & Brand Innovation\, Incite Strategic Partners\nJennifer Stelter\, CEO\, Dementia Connection Institute\, owned and operated by NeuroEssence\, LLC \nWatch Here

SUMMARY:Rediscovering the Workplace: Creating an Employee-Centered Culture

SUMMARY:What the Caregiving Workforce Really Wants

SUMMARY:Setting the Table for Person-Directed Dining
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s a holiday feast or a midweek family meal\, we make memories and deepen our relationships over food and drink. But far too often\, we expect elders living in communal care settings to abandon all control over what\, where\, and when they eat. \nPerson-directed dining strategies put power and autonomy back in the hands of elders and caregivers alike. Simple changes like 24/7 food availability\, individualized menus\, and dining environments that foster real conversation and connections can improve the lives of everyone who lives and works in nursing homes\, assisted living communities\, memory care centers\, and other communal settings. \nJoin us for this FREE webinar and learn how our partners set the table for real connections — and how the right processes and environmental supports can be a recipe for success in your organization. \nSpeakers\nJennifer Hansen\, Activity Director/Guide\, Washington County (Colo.) Green House Homes\nAndrea Maher\, Quality Management Director\, Iowa Veterans Home\nRandy Schellenberg\, President\, ComforTek Seating\nStacey Bergmann\, Director of Community and Network Relations\, Center for Innovation \nWhen: Tuesday\, April 23 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EDT\nWhere: Streaming online \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Navigating the Future of Non-Profit Nursing Homes
DESCRIPTION:The data is stark: Faced with financial pressures and ever-changing regulatory oversight\, non-profit organizations are increasingly exiting the nursing home space in favor of assisted living\, memory care\, and other less medically and operationally complex services. \nBut what does that mean for elders\, families\, and regulators who often choose non-profit organizations as superior\, mission-driven care options? \nOn Thursday\, February 22 at 2 p.m. ET\, join experts from Ziegler for a big-picture overview of the challenges and opportunities that non-profit providers face when considering the future of their nursing home operations — and learn why one provider in Rhode Island decided to both downsize and maintain its nursing home beds. \nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:Change the Incentives\, Change the System: A Green House Medicaid Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Watch the RecordingAll too often\, people ask us the same question: Why aren’t there more Green House homes? There’s no simple answer\, but a recurring theme is that the financial incentives in the long-term care system are misaligned\, favoring the status quo and stifling new innovation.  \nJill Wilson\, CEO of Green House partner organization Otterbein\, recently worked to change that in her home state of Ohio.  \nJoin us on Thursday\, December 7 at 2 p.m. ET to learn how advocates\, providers\, and lawmakers in the Buckeye State were able to achieve Medicaid rate incentives for operators of small-home nursing communities — and how changemakers across the nation can use the same strategies to encourage new alternatives in their home states.

SUMMARY:Communicating for Policy Success
DESCRIPTION:Achieving real eldercare reforms will take the support of lawmakers\, policymakers\, and the media — groups that long-term care professionals aren’t always eager to engage. But at a time when there’s never been more media and political attention on long-term care\, forward-thinking providers have two options: speak up or let the status quo live on.  \nEffectively communicating the benefits of small homes\, elder-directed care\, and other Green House/Pioneer Network innovations doesn’t have to be scary or difficult. Join communications director Alex Spanko for a fast-paced and fun 45 minutes on how to play the media and policy advocacy games\, with tips and tricks from a career on both sides of the reporting equation. \nYou’ll leave ready to have productive conversations that will move your organization\, along with the entire eldercare community\, into a better future. \nWATCH RECORDING

SUMMARY:2022 Deeper Dive Webinar Series: Workforce Success Stories
DESCRIPTION:Workforce turnover in nursing homes and other long-term care settings was a growing crisis even before the pandemic\, and COVID-19 only accelerated the troubling trend: As of January\, the sector had shed 420\,000 jobs since the start of the pandemic\, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics\, and high turnover has been linked to everything from higher risk of COVID-19 outbreaks to poor care outcomes to low worker satisfaction. \nThe Green House Project’s unique staffing model has helped providers resist that tide\, with CNA turnover of just 29% as of mid-2021 – as compared to a pre-pandemic figure of nearly 130% nationwide. With staffing minimums at the top of the government’s nursing home reform wish list\, and competition for workers from outside the sector intensifying\, finding practical solutions to the workforce recruitment and retention issue has never been more important. \nJoin The Green House Project and two of its partner organizations for a deep dive into the strategies that have helped them find and keep top talent. \nBrio Living Services in Michigan will discuss the organization’s significant bonus retention program\, the shared decision-making process that was used to develop it\, and the results several months into the effort. In addition\, leaders from Chelsea Jewish Lifecare in Massachusetts will share how it managed to avoid using any agency staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nPurchase RecordingThis is the first in GHP’s three-part Deeper Dive Webinar Series. One price gets you access to all three recordings\, including the Green House Business Case and Secrets of Rehab Success!
