Deadline to Register: January 14, 2020
Bring your own lunch. On-site
registration will begin at 11:30 am. The program will begin at 12
pm.
While the demographics
of facility staff fluctuates over time, one fact is becoming clear: elders are
increasing cared for by staff who don’t look or sound like them. Similarly,
staff members are caring for elders with a culture different from their own.
Unchecked, this can spiral into interpersonal conflict, turnover issues, and
legal problems.
Boundaries, personal space, social expectations,
and mores can complicate interactions between the elderly and their care staff.
As elder law practitioners, it is our job to understand our clients’
perspectives and the changing environment elders face. Just as cultural
competency is playing a larger role in today’s workplaces, it too should be
recognized as a key competency in navigating elder and staff relations in elder
care facilities.
This presentation will be focused on elder law
attorneys, in-house counsel, and compliance experts to outline, and suggest
strategies for dissipating, interpersonal conflict in elder care relationships.
Further, this program will help attorneys themselves understand the complex web
of social constructs impacting the elderly, and our role in managing those
relationships. Among the panelists will be a nursing director, a licensed
practical nurse, and a practicing elder law attorney. There will also be content
on cultural competency for attorneys and those they supervise and how to develop
it in our profession.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own
lunch. Lunch will not be provided.
Panelists:
Athena Hollins, MSBA Senior Director of Diversity and Foundations
Natalie
Morland, Director of
Nursing for Presbyterian Homes and Services
Evelyn Kamsin, Licensed practical
nurse (LPN) with 21 years’ experience
