The Garden State Patient Safety Center, a federally certified Patient Safety Organization (PSO), welcomes all of New Jersey’s assisted living communities to participate in a Safe Table on Advancing Care for Assisted Living Residents with Mental Health Needs.

Facilitator Pam Rooney, CALA, CTRS, ADC, Administrator of Longview – Premiere Assisted Living, a Christian Health Community, will share their experience with strategies and services and engage participants in how to improve outcomes for residents’ mental well-being.

Elisabeth Micich Otero, MSN, Quality Manager & Clinical Educator, Longview Assisted Living, QCE and Corrie Croom, MSN, Longview Director of Health Services will share valuable clinical insights!

Together, we’ll explore:

~ The signs of residents in need of mental health and/or substance use disorder services;

~ Effective and emerging policies and practices concerning mental health and SUD in assisted living settings;

~ Resources available for addressing resident needs and how to access them.

This first Safe Table of 2024 is open to all assisted living administrators, directors of wellness, and other clinicians/staff who support assisted living residents’ mental health. Continuing education credits are available for LNHA/CALA.  Future PSO Safe Tables will be reserved for assisted living communities that are PSO members.
