Virginia’s comprehensive standards governing licensed assisted living facilities have been overhauled.  Pending final approval by the governor, the existing regulations at 22 VAC 40-72 will be replaced in their entirety by 22 VAC 40-73. These changes cover a wide breadth of assisted living operations including staff training, resident care, activity programming, infection control, and staffing in special care units.

During this half-day session, our panelists will help you understand what is new and different in the standards and what the legal implications of the new regulations are.  They will offer strategies and approaches you can use to address the challenges facing your facility and to ensure operational compliance. VHCA-VCAL staff will also provide a recap of the 2017 General Assembly actions related to assisted living.

This day-long seminar led by dementia expert Lanny Butler, MS, OTR/L, CDP of Select Rehabilitation, Inc. will provide you with alternatives to treating and caring for individuals with dementia by changing your perception of the process of dementia and therefore changing your reality of what is possible in the months and years ahead.

Butler will explore physical, cultural, and behavioral characteristics found in individuals with dementing disease utilizing the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS). He will equip you with tools to determine an individual’s functional abilities by stage, as well as share compensatory strategies to maintain function, explain how to better understand the cause or causes of frequent behavior problems, and identify alternatives to problem behaviors.
