Coming in 2009 is the new MDS 3.0 .. redesigned to align with the New
Guidelines for elder healthcare.
In June 2006 the New Guidelines went into effect to change the
overall elder nursing and structured living facility from a "one size
fits all" enviroment to a more personal and social enviroment. The New
Guidelines and terms like "resident centered" "person centered"
"self-directed" have been leading our industry up to a complete
culture change, moving away from a medical model to a more social
model.
Some of our members are experiencing surveys that look specifically
towards the new culture changes...
... has the facility revised their assessments to bring a more
comprehesive profile to the resident,
... are the residents being given choices for self-directed
activities and self-directed care,
... are programs being offered that meet and challenge the
individual, their talents, their culture, their wishes
