Improving Resident Relationships in Long Term Care is an evidence-based intervention to prevent resident-to-resident aggression (RRA) in long-term care communities.
One in five nursing home residents, and one in six assisted living residents, are involved in a resident-to-resident aggressive situation in any given month. These situations can be identified, managed, and prevented using the Improving Resident Relationships program.
This specialized training:
Educates staff to recognize and manage aggressive behaviors, creating a safer community for residents and staff.
This is an evidence-based intervention to empower staff to help prevent aggresive incidents between residents.
Two options are available for nursing home and assisted living staff training:
Training for Trainers/Coaches: Intended for key staff members at your community - nursing, social work, recreational, environmental, dietary and therapy staff, lead certified nursing aides, or other supervisors or staff mentors – this model is for leadership staff who can train, coach and support their department/team.
Full staff training: Utilize the expertise of our trainers to deliver the training to your staff, on multiple shifts, if needed.
Coming soon: Improving Resident Relationships E-learning course.
