AHCA Product of the Week: Promoting Resident Self-Care Through Innovation

Residents have been impacted in a variety of ways over the last three-plus years going through the pandemic and even as we emerge from the pandemic. Residents endured moments of isolation, loneliness, and decreased socialization. The pandemic offered opportunities to engage in innovative technology to fill the gaps left from staffing shortages. As we continue to navigate the ongoing staffing crisis, technology plays a key role in helping to support resident self-care.  Learn from providers across the country as they discuss innovative ideas and concepts, they have engaged to empower residents and support their self-care. 

Objectives: After attending this session, participants will be able to: 

• Describe innovative methods of engaging residents in self-care. 
• Identify innovative concepts that can be implemented in assisted living. 
• Discuss how to motivate self-care in residents through innovative technology.
