Long term care leaders, policy makers, legislators, consumer advocates, state agency representatives and regulators from around the state and the nation gathered April 18 and 19 for the second Colorado ACCORD.
Taking inspiration from speakers Dottie Lamm, Colorado's former first lady, Dr. Bill Thomas, founder of The Eden Alternative, Dr. Vicki Rosebrook of the Macklin Institute, and an impressive roster of presenters, the conference helped to build strong partnerships throughout the long-term care continuum in Colorado among those who share common commitment to person-centered culture change transformation for elders and others requiring in Colorado.
In addition, members of the greater Denver community-at-large enjoyed a reception with Dr. Bill Thomas and a free workshop to learn more about efforts to change the culture of long-term care from Dr. Vicki Rosebrook, Executive Director of the Macklin Institute, and Dr. Al Power, author of Dementia Beyond Drugs. Chandra Matthews, from the Denver Regional Council of Government, Area Agency on Aging, spoke about the important role of the nursing home ombudsman.
