Clinical psychologist Dr. Eleanor Barbera, PhD, devotes her career to improving the care of the elderly living in congregate care homes. Join us to find out how CNAs and other nursing home staffers can use psychological insights to create better long-term care for elders.
Recognizing that she had a lot to offer but few willing listeners in her clinical setting, Dr. El set out to publish her thoughts and ideas online and a blog was born. Over the years, her blog MyBetterNursingHome.com has grown to include information for the care team (doctors, nurses, direct care staff), patients and families and offers something for everyone. When she began to realize that she was seeing the same issues being experienced by many residents of long-term care, she decided to write a book to educate them on the specific challenges of transitioning into long-term care and offers strategies, information and resources to help the resident settle in.
Today, she provides programs for staff training, intervention services for struggling residents or staff members, and education resources for staff, residents and families. Her articles have won many awards and her topics are engaging, informative and relevant to today's care-giving environments.
