The October 2022 revisions to Phase 3 of the RoP introduce several new and important considerations in achieving compliance in areas relative to residents’ rights, quality of life, and psychosocial well-being. Cultural competence requires the community to consider how you define what is “reasonable” in various scenarios of potential psychosocial harm. This session is intended to offer a framework for integrating the revised standards into daily practice. In a community where a majority of residents are challenged by cognitive decline, advocacy becomes vital to the quality of life and support of each resident.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the regulatory expectations relative to resident quality of life and psychosocial well-being.
Describe the reasonable person concept and the influence of the community culture in matters of advocacy.
Develop a culturally competent community that recognizes and values the rights and responsibilities of every individual.
