IGE 53500 Cultural Change in Long Term Care Regulation and Management

As "boomers" age across America changes are being implemented that will affect the way long term care (LTC) is delivered.  LTC environments are variable and adaptable, while still being highly regulated.  Current strategies will be reviewed that will help individuals meet changing health and personal needs across the LTC continuum.  Knowledge of LTC services will be provided from roots to requirements and from regulations to innovations.  Students will discuss diverse perspectives on the transitions of aging from the caregivers' and care recipients' vantage as they confront complex LTC issues.  This course will focus on culture change in long term care and topics of special interest and relevance to care for persons with dementia and developmental disabilities.
