Absolutely a must watch course! Thank you so much for sharing all of this information. It will greatly increase my confidence in this delicate area in a facility that wants to sign everyone up for Hospice Care if they don’t agree with the SLP diet recommendation. The presenter is top-notch as well. I always enjoy her courses. Very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you speechpathology.com

Research and anecdotal information supporting the content. Much of this my approach is based on personal experience and listening to residents and resident's family. I liked the speaker's style and the focus on resident centered care. I flip flop between acute care adult and SNF travel assignments and constantly see that more restrictive medical model used in the SNF setting.

I see this happening so often in my own company with other SLPs. SLPs refusing to compromise with fear of possible aspiration/choking and how it will come back on them. I love how this is patient centered.

My father recently experienced a stroke and is an acute residential care facility. I haven't had clinical experience with dysphagia acute post stroke. This course built my confidence to advocate for him. I am so grateful for your course, professional conduct balanced with compassion and dedication to supporting clinicians in being curious and reflecting on their practice. Thank you so much.

I love how the instructor validated an individual’s right to choose their diet in a skilled nursing facility with evidenced based practice and the resident’s legal rights! I get a lot of push back from SLP’s in the same facilities that I work in for not agreeing with some of their draconian diet recommendations. Now that I have the resources, I feel even more confident to continue to advocate for my patients! Thank you!

by

My facility seems to be hyper-vigilant regarding potential lawsuits and tends to over-emphasize non-maleficence over beneficence. There have been times when I have tried to do the ethical thing and allow the patient their legal choice to self-determination, but the facility has over-ridden my QOL recommendation. This presentation was empowering to me as it reminded me of my patients' legal rights to autonomy.

I genuinely LOVED this course and will definitely hold close some of the words/phrases the speaker used such as "FEEDING = LOVE" and "small compromises can lead to large dividends." We ARE learning more and these areas can be so difficult to treat "universally" b/c each situation, person, and family is different. I would highly recommend this course and think it would be helpful to anyone who has been in these settings for 1 week or 10 years. Respect for quality of life goes a long way.

My co-worker and I are always telling patients that we are not "the food police." It's nice to get confirmation that we are doing the right thing working with patients, families and other healthcare providers in a manner that is respectful and productive to allow people a feeling of autonomy while in the hospital.
