" … the philosophy and goals of geriatrics differ from those of palliative care. Geriatrics focuses primarily
        not on easing dying, but on improving the quality of life during a patient's remaining years."

-- The New England Journal of Medicine; February 24, 2005

Many factors influence your primary goal of delivering high-quality resident care. Those within your control might include staff education, geriatric assessment techniques, illness/injury prevention strategies, and more.

Most LTC facilities don't have the budget or staff availability to send nurses to out-of-town seminars. Why not have your staff share their clinical concerns and observations with a nurse practitioner who has spent nearly 25 years working directly with long-term care RNs, LPNs and CNAs?

Save time and financial resources by inviting GeriScan Owner Susan Scanland to your region! Susan works closely with facilities and their pharmacy providers to locate funding for non-CEU programs, which may be conducted on site at the nursing home or assisted living facility, or at a nearby conference location.

GeriScan has made a difference for national and state-wide LTC and ALF audiences, including:

  • American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators (AANAC)
  • Assisted Living Federation of America
  • Ohio Nurse Assessment Coordinators (ONAC)
  • New Jersey Directors of Nurses Association (NJDONA)
  • Georgia Assisted Living Federation of America
