NEW! "Seven Secrets to Excellence in End of Life Care" JoAnne is offering personal training for administrator's and caregiver staff of nursing homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and inpatient Hospice centers. This training will increase your staff morale, nurture and support your patient's and their families, and create a new environment of excellence in your facility. Course content and total training time of up to seven weeks is custom designed for each facility and staggered to reach the staff on all your shifts. Contact JoAnne directly at bordermountain@msn.com to discover what "Seven Secrets to Excellence in End Of Life Care" can do for you and your organization.

For a decade, over a thousand hospice programs have relied on JoAnne Chitwood's My Gift: Myself Medicare compliant training program to educate staff and volunteers in providing compassionate care for the terminally ill patient. Now, with the revised and completely refilmed new version of My Gift: Myself, A Guide To Excellence In End Of Life Care, you, as a long term care facility, will now have specific end of life care training available to you. In these DVD's and their accompanying manuals, your staff will learn cutting edge techniques in providing care for your residents in the last six months of their lives.

The Long Term Care Facilitator's DVD includes interviews with long term care administrators that have successfully created this culture of excellence in their facilities, wowing residents and families with their friendly, open, compassionate, and skilled care. Their message to you is this: "You Can Do This Too!" Learn the secrets they are now sharing about how to bring this transformation about in your own facility.

The Long Term Care Facilitator's Manual and DVD provide:
  • Guidance in training your staff with practical applications in good leadership strategies
  • Specific ways in which you, as the management team, set the tone for how your residents will be cared for
  • Strategies for creating a culture of excellence in end of life care that will set your facility apart.

The specialty training materials for long term care facilities are in final production and are expected to be available in late 2012. The manuals and DVD's for this long term care provider program are meant to supplement the Core Program materials (My Gift: Myself, A Guide To Excellence In End Of Life Care), which are a prerequisite. As an alternative to waiting for the specific long term care facility materials to be completed, you can begin training using the currently available Core Manual & Volunteer Supplement Manuals for each trainee and the Hospice Volunteer Coordinator's Manual. These manuals, combined with the 7 DVD Core My Gift: Myself Program provide a complete training series for hospice volunteers and this training is very appropriate for any caregiver working with patients near end of life.
