GeroServices Announces Radical Breakthrough In Supervision Training Resources For The Long-Term Care Industry

GeroServices, Inc. announced today the development of a radical breakthrough in supervision training resources for the long-term care industry. This new approach uses a combination of CD based training, simple newsletters and web based resources to create a learning community for supervisors in long term care. Dr. Richard Wyckoff, President of GeroServices, Inc., states "We have been aware of the difficulty long-term care supervisors have had with finding the time to attend training events as well as the lack of affordable performance based supervision training resources available to the industry. Our approach provides all the supervisors in a facility with the resources they need as well as the opportunity to learn at their own pace and in their preferred style."

The GeroServices approach is based upon five years of consultation and research in over 200 facilities. GeroServices was selected by CCAP (the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania) to develop training materials in behavior management for long-term care facilities in Pennsylvania in 1998. Since then, GeroServices has developed a wide range of behavior management training materials and support services. The supervision development course is the first course in the series to be available as computer based training as well as newsletters and a web based learning community.

This course focuses on performance management. Performance management is the application of behavioral principles to staff performance and achievement. The course is part of a series entitled Lessons in Long-term Care. Future topics include: Team Building, Conflict Management, Transformational Leadership, and Stress Management.

Special introductory pricing of a site license for Lessons in Long-term Care: Performance Management is offered through VertMarkets at $225.00 for a limited time only.
