Your Loved
One is in a Nursing Home...
What Do You Do Now?
Santa Monica, July 7, 2004
WISE Senior Services' new Family
and Friends Nursing Home Education Project is designed
to assist family members and friends of nursing home
residents. WISE is offering a FREE 4 hour training
workshop that will be held in Santa Monica on Tuesday,
July 20th. The Family and Friends Nursing Home Education
Project will teach family members and friends what
to expect following the placement of their loved one
in a nursing facility.
The purpose of the workshop will be to help family
members and friends of nursing home residents to learn
not only what to expect after placement, but also
how to advocate for their loved ones by learning about
topics such as: resident rights, family councils,
appropriate levels of care, eating and dressing assistance
and quality of care issues.
If your loved one is in a nursing
home and you need answers, we can help. The Family
and Friends Nursing Home Education Project offers
you FREE training so that you can obtain valuable
knowledge specific to nursing home issues, empowering
you to help your loved one.
Space will be on a first-come,
first-serve basis. For additional information or to
make reservations, contact: Kim Daughton at (310)
394-9871, ext. 439 or email kdaughton@wiseseniors.org
The Friends and Family Nursing Home Education Project
is supported by a grant from UniHealth Foundation,
a non-profit philanthropic organization whose mission
is to support and facilitate activities that significantly
improve the health and well being of individuals and
communities within its service area.
