8:00am – 9:30am PST — Revolutionizing the Experience of “Home” by Bringing Well-Being to Life
Seven primary Domains of Well-Being — identity, growth, autonomy, security, connectedness, meaning, and joy — provide a simple framework for identifying the unmet needs of those receiving care. Working with these domains helps us identify and meet challenges in activities of daily living (ADLs), care planning, and the creation of policies and procedures with creativity, awareness, and focus. Problem-solving becomes less abstract and more intuitive. Three validated assessment tools have also been designed to evaluate well-being for Elders, family members, and employees. Together, these three focus groups define an organization’s well-being, which is the ultimate goal.

10:30am – 12:00pm PST — Eliminate Performance Appraisals… and Develop a Person-Centered Approach to Management
The problem with the traditional performance appraisal process is not just that it is ineffective… it is one of the most damaging and counter-productive activities we undertake and leads to feelings of being judged, dehumanized, misunderstood and oppressed. In this session you will learn how one organization eliminated the performance review process and replaced it with a coaching model that incorporates the best aspects of person-centeredness. Understand the rationale for change, the structure that was developed and the roll-out process utilized. Hear what has worked well, and also the “lessons learned.”

2:00pm – 3:30pm PST — Networking Elders to Provide Them with a Greater Voice
“Seniors Aid New Hampshire” is an organization comprised of Elders that reside in Nursing Home, Assisted Living and Independent Living settings. Through their communication method of monthly conference calls, over the past seven years they have been able to host senators, state representatives, as well as members of government agencies on their calls and provided video testimony in a Senate Committee Hearing regarding medication administration. This group gains its momentum from peer networking and purposeful work as well as the experience and knowledge of “Being Heard.”

4:00pm – 5:30pm PST — Let Them Be… Gaining Control by Letting Go (Challenges and Opportunities for Implementing Person-Centered Care in a For-Profit Organization)
This interactive session will discuss the unique challenges and opportunities for growth that arise when a for-profit organization seeks to implement person-centered care. Panelists will address three topics: 1) How to have corporate “buy in,” 2) How the organization developed a culture of teamwork, and 3) How to manage financial viability of person-centered care in a for-profit organization. We will also introduce the unique opportunities that person- centered care affords a for-profit organization, including awakening motivation among the staff members and care partners and re-visiting the value-based corporate culture.
