We’ve all sat through trainings promising to “reduce behaviors,” but let’s be real—how many of those strategies actually work in the heat of the moment? When a resident is yelling non-stop, biting, spitting, seeking possibly illegal sex, pushing through locked doors, or refusing a soiled brief change, caregivers need fast, practical tools that they can grab and use right now—not theories that don’t hold up on a Saturday night shift. This session is all about building a real-world behavior toolkit—sorting through what works, tossing what doesn’t, and making sure the best tools actually show up in daily care. We’ll move fast, sharing strategies for building a toolbox for your team, while brainstorming how to get tools into the hands of the CNAs, nurses, and activity pros who make it all happen. Let’s build a better toolkit together.
Learning objectives:
- Evaluate which tools are most effective for their specific care environment and discard those that don’t work.
- Organize a behavior response toolkit that is easy for caregivers to access and use in real-time situations.
- Apply simple, practical interventions that boost caregiver confidence in handling crisis moments.
