We had a great time last Thursday at our first virtual Hands-On Caregiver mini conference! Over 100 caregivers joined us representing more than 15 buildings and 3 states! Attendees were able to actively participate and show their learning by engaging with an interactive Kahoot! throughout the sessions.
Thank you so much to our incredible speakers:
- Hollie Lowe with the James L. West Center for Dementia Care who taught us about effective and caring strategies for communicating with residents with dementia,
- Treva Greaser with Treva Greaser Consulting who shared tips and best practices for improving how and what we document,
- Amy Hensley with Before the Casket who helped us get comfortable with how residents might transition to hospice care, and
- Karen Sturchio with Oxford Senior Living who inspired and reminded us that Leadership is more than just a title.




We added a little extra celebration and recognition of our frontline caregivers throughout the day, by doing multiple random drawings for attendees to win a gift card of their choice. Congratulations to the following gift card winners:
- Trinitie Baker, Lincoln Park Manor
- Misty Reed, Hill Top House
- Amanda Howg, Lincoln Park Manor
- Amanda Conroy, Hill Top House
- Barbara Harrison, Homestead Health Center
- Sylvia Smith, The Nicol Home
- Taylor Thornhill, Lincoln Park Manor
- Hailey Langholz, The Nicol Home
One final THANK YOU to everyone who participated and made this training a success for our frontline caregivers. We can’t wait to see you again next year!
