Bridging the Gap between
Person Centered Care and the
Human Experience
How we support matters! We are all just doing the best that we can with the resources and staff we have, but what if I told you that by using a different lens and gaining a different perspective would change the way we are supporting each other both staff and residents alike… I whole heartedly believe that “How we start…Dictates where we end”... Join me for this interactive journey that will help you feel and experience the worlds in which we support…How will it look when it’s our turn…Do we want it to look like this???.
