Diversity, Aging & Living in Long Term Care Homes: Considerations for Care Practitioners

In order to deliver person-centered care, it is important for LTC providers to thoughtfully consider the diversity of residents’ perspectives and experiences. Informed by histories of marginalization, being “different” continues to be challenging in modern-day. LTC members and leaders are faced with systemic pressures (i.e., high workloads, limited resources) while individuals’ needs for expressions of diversity in LTC homes are sometimes overlooked.

This webinar shares strategies to acknowledge and support the diverse identities and needs of individuals who live and work in long-term care (LTC) homes. Attendees will receive self-reflection tools to think critically in order to support individuals with diverse social identities, with implications for how we provide care and services in LTC.

By watching this webinar, you will:
a. Understand how your social identity might be impacting your own privilege and power.
b. Define what social identity is and how it plays a part in your professional role.
c. Increased awareness to various diversity and inclusion principles and concepts.
