1.00 CME / 1.00 CMD Management / 1.00 MOC

A teaching assisted living facility can provide benefits to the trainees, the residents and the facility itself. A program of this type has been functioning at one facility over the course of 20 years and can, and should, be instituted more widely throughout the assisted living field.

Presenters

 Alec Pruchnicki, MD, is an acting medical director at the Vista on 5th Assisted Living Facility (previously known as the Robert Lott ALF), a non-profit, community run, Medicaid supported facility in New York City. Besides providing primary care to the residents at the facility, he has taught numerous medical and nursing students and professionals at this location over the 18 years he has worked there.

 Learning Objectives

  • Establish an educational program in an assisted living facility.
  • Use this training to improve care of the residents at such facilities.
  • Monitor efficacy of the program by feedback from residents, trainees, and instructors.
  • Enable the program to be self-sustaining.
