An angry resident, a hostile resident, an uncooperative resident, a slow resident, a resident with Alzheimer's disease can all trigger an elder abuse situation when a nursing assistant is under time pressure or other work related stress.

Staff explain what works to decrease frustration and anger and how to regain personal control even with the most challenging residents.

group discussion

Staff discuss the stress of working in long-term care, the importance of leaving home problems at home, the importance of not letting anger and frustration build and the importance of team work to defuse a situation.

Even for those with a strong caring nature and compassion for residents, there are situations and combinations of factors which can escalate. Give your staff the tools they need for stress management in long-term care.
