PACE helps participants delay or avoid long-term nursing home care. \nDuring the webinar\, PACE provider Lisa Zavorski\, Executive Director of LIFE St. Francis\, a PACE in Bordentown\, will present an overview of the PACE model\, describe how it differentiates from other managed care models and explain why this program should be expanded throughout New Jersey.

This problem-solving approach will be presented to help reduce the intensity\, frequency\, or occurrence of challenges. This will also help develop better communication skills when working with people living with dementia by emphasizing the value of empathetic and supportive communication. The overall goal is to reduce or minimize unproductive conversa-tions and resistive behaviors by using effective verbal and physical skills. It will also focus on helping develop better observational skills to recognize and intervene effectively when behavioral challenges occur. The session will empha-size the value of matching helping behaviors to the person’s needs and retained abilities to promote a sense of control and self-direction. Grading and providing helping behaviors based on the person’s abilities and needs will assist in fos-tering positive interactions during care activities rather than struggles. \nThis session will include:\n1. List of six factors that may be used to determine what may be contributing to ‘challenging behaviors’\n2. Discuss the value of knowing the person and their histo-ry in effective communication efforts.\n3. Describe & use empathetic & supportive communication techniques when interacting with a person living with Dementia.\n4. Identify the degree of involvement the person with de-mentia is experiencing\n5. Discriminate between helping at the ‘just right’ level and neglect or ‘taking over’ \nAgenda:\nTuesday\, July 21\, 2020 \nRegistration/Dial In ………………… 7:30 AM – 8:00 AM \nProgram ……………………………… 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nLunch ……………………………….. 12:00 PM – 12:40 PM \nProgram ……………………………… 12:40 PM – 3:30 PM \nPresenter:\nTeepa Snow\nPositive Approach to Care\n \nTeepa Snow is one of the world’s leading advocates and educators for anyone living with dementia.  Teepa’s philosophy is reflective of her education\, work experience\, medical research\, and first-hand caregiving experiences. Her advo-cacy efforts led her to the develop-ment of the GEMS dementia classi-fication model and the Positive Approach to Care training strategies. Teepa is an occupation-al therapist with 40 years of rich and varied clinical and ac-ademic experience. She presents with extraordinary exper-tise and humor to audiences large and small throughout the world. Her user-friendly approaches provide guidance and leadership to national efforts to promote best practices. \nContinuing Education:\nThis session has been approved for Continuing Education for 6 total participant hours from NAB.\nYou must attend entireprogram and complete a speaker/seminar evaluation form to receive a contact hours certificate. \nFor more information:\nEmilie Beck\nMembership & Events Associate LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware \nPhone: 609-452-1161 \nEmail: ebeck@leadingagenjde.org URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/using-a-positive-approach-to-dementia-care/ CATEGORIES:Event,Front Page,Phone,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200715T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200715T150000 DTSTAMP:20260516T060707 CREATED:20200701T135110Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200701T135443Z UID:10000255-1594821600-1594825200@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:Fearless in the Face of Crisis: A Virtual Leadership Retreat DESCRIPTION:LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware is Proud to Partner with Drive for:\nFearless in the Face of Crisis: A Virtual Leadership Retreat (5 CEs)\nOver five webinars\, we will walk attendees through the 5 principles and the 30 behaviors that support exemplary leadership.
