This webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PT/2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET
Nursing experts agree that restraint use in nursing facilities should be kept to a minimum, if not eliminated. And federal nursing facility law states clearly that restraints must not be used for discipline or a facility’s convenience. Nonetheless, some facilities routinely restrain ten or twenty percent (or more) of their residents.
This webinar, Systemic and Individual Advocacy to Reduce Restraint Use in Nursing Facilities, will review the law, examine the federal government’s various initiatives to reduce restraint use, and discuss individual advocacy strategies that empower a resident or resident’s representative to reject any use of restraints for that particular resident.
Who Should Participate:
Advocates working with older adults who reside in nursing facilities and their families.
Presenter:
Eric Carlson, Director, Long-Term Services and Supports Advocacy, Justice in Aging
