One-Page Profiles Masterclass

Summary

In this Masterclass, you will learn how to create high-quality One-Page Profiles. Using this simple tool leads to a dramatic improvement in care and lays the foundations for future improvements.

A One-Page Profile is a best practice tool first developed by Helen Sanderson Associates in the UK and is now in use internationally.

It is a fantastic and straightforward at-a-glance tool to help long-term care professionals provide better person-centred care and support. It is a simple summary of what is important to someone and how they want to be supported.

For elders in your care, it provides a record of how they'd like people to help them, including if and when they need care and support.

Watch this video to hear Workshop Instructor, Jennifer Hermer of HSA Canada, explain how a One-Page Profile has helped care staff provide better care for her mother over a number of years.

Audience

The course is for anyone working in long-term eldercare, specifically working in dementia care, who want to improve intake, personalize care day-to-day, and improve all areas of supportive care. This includes all staff and caregivers, such as activity professionals, personal support workers, behavioral support, and volunteers.
