With the arrival of highly safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, long term care providers are experiencing hope for the first time in months. The vaccines represent the most important step toward putting care staff back on the road to recovery and will have a cascading impact moving forward. While the precise timeline for a complete return to normalcy in our senior care facilities is still unknown, the long term care sector is looking ahead to important and exciting milestones.
Looking back on the changes forced upon the sector, it’s overwhelming. It started with restricting in-person visits and group dining and activities, adding PPE requirements, rigorous testing and strict quarantining, to name a few. These critical protocols were put in place to prevent outbreaks but consequently led to heavy emotional burden, isolation, strained communication, and connection.
Soon enough, providers are going to start being asked when families can visit loved ones if they’ve been vaccinated, when group dining, activities and therapy can resume for quality of life, and when staff can stop wearing PPE and avoid painful testing. The presenter will uncover some of these anticipated questions and discussing when and how some normalcy may return.
Presenter: Phil Fogg, CEO and President of Marquis Companies and Consonus Healthcare
Learning Objectives:
- Identify post round 3 vaccination solutions, including vaccine ordering & fulfillment and reporting requirements.
- Discover anticipated questions residents, families, and staff will have about a post-vaccine world.
- Discuss strategies to reduce or eliminate resident isolation
- Project possible timelines for the return to group dining, activities and therapy, in-person visits, and decreased testing, quarantining, PPE and more.
- Outline COVID-19 guidance and regulatory requirements and mandates that will influence the road to recovery.
Each "Lunch and Learn" session will focus on an important legal, human resources or other regulatory compliance topic for long term care providers. Held virtually until further notice, this session is intended to be an active discussion with audience members to talk through challenges and best practices for compliance. Active engagement is encouraged!
