Developing A Functional Maintenance Program: A Therapy Perspective
The purpose of this course is to offer both a rationale for therapy’s role in maintaining function and a system for designing functional maintenance programs for the geriatric client. This course will look at both the aging population and government regulations that provide both a social and an economic rationale for the importance of maintaining the function of the elderly population, even those that require nursing home services. In addition, this course will review a process for identifying individuals appropriate for maintenance programming and the essential elements for evaluation, treatment planning and functional maintenance program design, education, and follow-up.
