5) Improving Outcomes in Assisted Living
During this session, you will learn about
how an Assisted Living Program (ALP) has

approach to resident centered care and
service delivery. By maximizing their own
resources and collaborating with other
community providers, the ALP has been able

hospitalizations and frequency of falls. The
presenters will share information to help
participants consider how they may utilize
similar strategies in their own adult care and
assisted living facilities.
