Description
This session will address industry-wide challenges related to environmental design, training, associate empowerment, and organizational culture. By exploring behavioral psychology and neuroscience, attendees will experience participatory learning and learn how to deploy interventions that influence behavioral cognitive domains (BCDs), thus, fostering an engaged culture. In this session, attendees will develop a better understanding of the correlation between approach (our behavior) and effect (resident, associate, and family member behavior), as well as how clinical and non-clinical interventions work together. This session will also briefly examine a 21st century approach to design known as The CERTUS MAPS™ program. Attendees will leave with practical tools and interventions to improve the quality of life for those living with memory loss.
