We know that our Nursing Home members are working hard to prepare and comply with the new CMS Requirements of Participation (RoPs). In order to assist Nursing Home members with this process, LeadingAge and LeadingAge DC have contracted with Pathways, a consulting firm. Together we are creating tools (P&P templates, checklists, etc.). As these tools are developed, we will post them to the LeadingAge website, here. Available tools as of Friday, 1/20, are:

• Phase 1 – Abuse Section
  • Abuse RoP Checklist
  • Abuse Policy
  • Abuse Training Plan
  • Abuse Prevention Plan for Leadership
  • Freedom from Abuse Education for Direct Caregivers
  • Quiz for Abuse Education
  • Quiz for Abuse Education – Answer Key​

In order to access these tools, you must sign-in to the website as a member here. If you do not have a user name and password, it is a simple process to create. If you have any challenges, please email me directly.

Please note, that these templates are not state specific and written to comply with the new CMS RoPs only. In addition there will be a webinar on Thursday, February 16th. For more information is available here.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I will continue to update you as tools become available. In addition, I will be posting this to the LeadingAgeDC website
