About the Training

Moving out of a nursing home is usually a process, not an action. Developing the skills to help people move out can take years. That's why we have developed this training to take years off the learning process. If you're a new transition facilitator or an advocate that works with consumers in nursing homes, you can't afford to miss this training. This extensive four part series works through the transition process chronologically. We'll begin at the foundation, with the laws and legal decisions that support people's right to live in their own homes in the community, to the planning process, the actual move, and critical elements of community living after someone moves in.

Presented in four parts, the sessions are:

Part 1: Laying the Groundwork for Transition

Setting the Stage: the ADA and the Olmstead Decision
Current Issues: Managed Care, ADRCs
Critical Components of Transition that Contribute to Success
Building Relationships with Nursing Homes, Family, and Other Supports
