Age Friendly Manitoba: Creating Age Friendly People and Places Honourable Jim Rondeau

Minister of Healthy Living, Seniors and Consumer Affairs Minister responsible for Manitoba Liquor Control Commission

MLA for Assiniboia

The places in which people live are integral to their life satisfaction and overall health. The Age Friendly Manitoba Initiative provides a model for communities to aim to be age friendly. From structural aspects to social inclusion, environments can welcome or deter participation. How we look at aging and older people is one of the most important aspects of age friendly. Whether it be housing needs, support services or how we use technology or provide intergenerational opportunities to improve quality of life, age friendly environments are a solution. Older adults can live longer, healthier lives by staying socially connected, increasing their levels of physical activity, and eating in a healthy way. Manitoba has been at the forefront of the Age Friendly movement since its inception in 2006, collaborating with the World Health Organization and most recently hosting the International Symposium on Rural and Remote Communities with invited delegates from around the world. With 86 and counting age friendly communities and a milestone recognition program, Manitoba continues to lead the development and sustainability of environments that are friendly to people of all ages. Bio: First appointed to Cabinet in 2003. First elected in 1999. Jim Rondeau was elected the MLA for Assiniboia in the 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011 general elections. In November, 2003 he was appointed the new Minister of Healthy Living within the Department of Health and was also given responsibility for Seniors and Healthy Child Manitoba. A year later he became the Minister of Industry, Economic Development and Mines. In September 2006 he was appointed the Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mines. In November 2009, he was appointed Minister of Healthy Living, Youth and Seniors by Premier Greg Selinger with responsibility for Healthy Child Manitoba, Mental Health and Recreation. He was re-appointed to Premier Greg Selinger’s cabinet in January 2012 as the Minister of Healthy Living, Seniors and Consumer Affairs.

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro Leadership Lessons from 19,340 feet “The Roof of Africa”

Dan Levitt, MSc., CHE Executive Director, Tabor Village

Sessional Instructor, Gerontology Department, Simon Fraser University

Dan Levitt, loves telling stories, and Dan loves taking an audience away from the world they know, on a journey to overcome personal challenges – be it a seven day trek up to the roof of Africa, a long distance run across the Golden Gate Bridge, or a hike along the Great Wall of China. But more than anything, Dan’s interactive talk will share the insights, strategies and lessons he has learned from these adventures and apply them to eldercare. The journey to improving living and working conditions in long term and continuing care across the Canadian landscape starts with partnerships between caregivers and seniors receiving care. And it is here where Dan makes his prime contribution to the conversation. The presentation will leave each member of the audience with a bolstered sense of what is possible. This change leadership talk will focus on ideas that will stick

long after the conference has ended. Simple yet unique concepts from the world of travel adventure that the audience can apply to seniors care, and in life, to help make the lives of frail elders a little better (enhancing quality of care, enhancing quality of work life, and enhancing the role the eldercare organization plays in the community). Bio: In 1992, after graduating from university, Dan ditched his job as a cook, packed his bags and headed to Europe and the Middle East in search of adventure. He has been going full tilt ever since.


The journeys that followed have taken him all over the planet, from Mt. Fuji to the Arabian Desert, Africa’s highest peak Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Caribbean Sea’s Planacar Reef. Dan has canoed across the Yukon and raced over and back historic Golden Gate Bridge. He has backpacked extensively throughout Europe and Asia, slept overnight with Bedouins on top of Mt. Sinai, bicycled through vineyards in Italy’s fabled Chianti region, explored Cambodia’s temples of Angkor Wat, and hiked to the highest point of the Great Wall of China. When not adventure travelling, Dan is the Executive Director of Tabor Village a campus of care located in Abbotsford, BC, and a Sessional Instructor, Gerontology Department, Simon Fraser University. What sets Dan apart is his ability to share these journeys with others as a health care executive, university instructor and speaker. Dan takes his audience places they normally would never go, sharing his interest in travel and different cultures, revealing how these experiences apply to the eldercare field.

SESSION 3

Health Benefits of Massage Therapy Sheila Bergman, WC (Hon), RMT

Theoretical Instructor, Clinic Observer, Outreach Coordinator

Massage Therapy has been utilized for centuries as part of a wellness program to ensure good health. As a staff member in Long Term and Continuing Care – the physical and emotional aspects of your career demand that you pay attention to your body, your mind and your spirit. Massage can assist in keeping in touch with all three – if applied in a professional manner by a qualified therapist. This 50 minute talk will help you understand the physiological advantage of regular massage therapy treatments – as well as distinguish between relaxation massage, spa massage, therapeutic massage and massage therapy treatment. Bio: A graduate of the Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapies Inc. (class of 1995), Sheila is an instructor for the basic and advanced classes of pathology, physiology, neurophysiology, medical terminology and hydrotherapy, in both the distance education and full-time programs. For her ongoing dedication to students, Sheila received honours from Wellington College in 2000. Sheila’s work in Geriatric Massage therapy has earned her provincial and national respect. She presents at conferences and facilitates courses in Breast Massage, Geriatric and Palliative care for health care providers. Her innovative approach to providing end-of-life massage therapy became an approved program for residents of The Middlechurch Home of Winnipeg Inc. where she was a member of the facility’s Palliative Care Team from 2001-2008 (Chair from 2004-2006). She also served on the MTAM Board of Directors from 2007-2009. Sheila received her Adult Education Certificate from the University of Manitoba in 2008. Other than being an accomplished therapist and one of Wellington's busiest instructors, in her spare time Sheila plays hockey and slo-pitch, runs regularly and has recently found a love for Zumba!

SESSION 4

Promoting Aboriginal Health Research: Finding solutions for health issues through partnerships with

First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities Dr. Catherine Cook, MD, MSc., CCFP, FCFP

Vice President, Population and Aboriginal Health, WRHA Associate Dean, First Nations, Métis & Inuit Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of

Manitoba


The value of conducted research is often measured by its applicability to the general public – in Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) communities the questions asked were not always the ones that were the most important for the community. As the communities at large were not always engaged in the decisions about the research question, it appeared that research was something that was ‘done to’ communities. There was little apparent value, and the results frequently portrayed the Aboriginal community in a negative light. ‘Aboriginal health research takes place on many levels and involves investigators from many fields of academia.’ The ability to administer the CIHR funded ACADRE and NEAHR grants through the University of Manitoba has provided an opportunity to work with First Nations and Métis for research focused capacity growth in the First Nations and Métis communities. The process of engagement, through partnerships, has supported the mobilization of knowledge that recognizes the active role that First Nations, Métis and Inuit take in defining and guiding relevant research within the province of Manitoba. Bio: Dr. Catherine Cook received her medical education at the University of Manitoba (1987), certified in Family Medicine in 1989, with a MSc. through the Department of Community Health Sciences, in 2003. Dr. Cook has a joint role with the University of Manitoba as the Associate Dean, First Nations, Métis and Inuit Health, Faculty of Medicine at the University of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority as Vice-President of Population and Aboriginal Health. She is also actively engaged at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Medicine in the areas of teaching, student supports and research. In July 2009, she was appointed by the Province of Manitoba as the Aboriginal Health Advisor on H1N1 issues for Manitoba – to work with First Nations communities, leadership organizations and the federal government to further strengthen communication, coordination and response to H1N1 influenza. Dr. Cook practiced as a family physician in remote northern nursing stations for several years before focusing on public health practice. She has held positions of Associate Director of the J.A. Hildes Northern Medical Unit, Regional Director of Health Programs for First Nations and Inuit Health, Manitoba Region, Regional Medical Officer of Health for the Nor-Man and Winnipeg Regional Health Authorities, Director of the Center for Aboriginal Health Education and Co-Director of the Manitoba First Nations Center for Aboriginal Health Research and Co-Chair of the ‘Changes for Children’ Implementation Team – a process for systemic change within the Child Welfare system in Manitoba stemming from the AJI-CWI Initiative and a series of reviews of the child welfare system. Dr. Cook is on several national boards and committees, and has actively engaged in board and committee membership throughout her career.

Improving the overall “Dining Experience” Suzanne Quiring, Registered Dietitian

Combating loneliness, helplessness and boredom in Long Term Care dining rooms with tray line and/or pre plate meal delivery service is very challenging! Along with a shrinking food budget, high food wastage, cold food, reading/updating endless food and preference lists, facilities have a daily challenge. Having hands-on experience, Suzanne will walk through her personal story and share practical ideas on how to


improve the dining experience regardless of the resident's care level with table side, mobile meal service. A slide show will be shown of how different care facilities across North America have enhanced meal service in their dining rooms, and brought choice back into the equation in Long Term Care, while saving money! Come be inspired, and learn what other facilities are doing to make meal service resident focused. Bio: Suzanne Quiring is a Registered Dietitian with College of Dietitians of BC and Dietitians of Canada, a member of the CSNM, has her Continuing Care Administrator’s diploma, has Eden Alternative training, and 16 years experience in the Long Term Care food industry in all areas of care. She has a strong understanding as to the practical challenges of providing great meal service to Elders that maximizes choice, dignity and respect in the dining room. She has been published in 7 professional journals and has spoken across the country sharing her experience on “how” meal service can be more resident focused. She loves to spend her time providing education support to care facilities whom are motivated to make a positive culture change in their dining room. She has helped hundreds of care facilities through Canada & USA improve their meal delivery with the use of the SuzyQ cart System, and she invented the SuzyQ cart specifically designed for the LTC dining room. Suzanne is big supporter of the Eden Alternative and Pioneer Network organizations, and her teachings align well with these philosophies.

SESSION 7

Personal Care Home Standards Regulation and Standards Review Process Hana Forbes, Acting Director, Continuing Care Branch Manitoba Health

with Carol Johnston, Standards Consultant, Manitoba Health

Manitoba’s Personal Care Home (PCH) Program was established in 1973 to provide a range of long term care services, including residential, personal and health services to individuals whose needs could no longer be met at home by family and/or by supporting community services. PCHs are designed for individuals who require 24-hour nursing care due to significant physical or mental deterioration and who can no longer safely remain at home or in a supportive housing environment.

In 2005, Manitoba Health made changes to existing legislation to ensure that there were minimum standards with respect to care, accommodation, services and programs in personal care homes. The standards process was enacted by the Personal Care Homes Standards Regulation under the Health Services Insurance Act and the measurement and reporting of all standards came into effect. This presentation will focus on the evolution of the Personal Care Home Standards Regulation and provide an overview of the 26 Standards and the Standards Review Process.


Manitoba Health and the Regional Health Authorities work collaboratively with PCHs to ensure the provision of quality care to the frail elderly residing in Manitoba’s PCHs and to ensure best practice, continuous quality improvement and compliance with the PCH Standards Regulation. Bio: Hana Forbes is the Acting Director for the Continuing Care Branch of Regional Policy & Programs Division at Manitoba Health. The Continuing Care Branch provides provincial leadership regarding Home Care, Aging in Place, and Long Term Care (Personal Care Home) programs and policies in Manitoba and ensures compliance with the Health Services Insurance Act and applicable Regulations. In addition, the Continuing Care Branch coordinates the quality improvements across the health continuum and leads, promotes and supports the Aging in Place/Continuing Care Strategy. The Branch works collaboratively with other Branches within Manitoba Health, other Provincial/Federal Government departments, and regional health authorities to develop continuous quality improvements that support best practice.

Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, Faculty of Community Services, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This presentation will review current trends and care innovations for older adults with cognitive impairments who display responsive behavior. Using a variety of video clips and case studies, Dr. Schindel Martin will provide practical suggestions for the management of such responsive behaviors as agitation, repetitive vocalization, and resistance to bathing. The presentation will include discussion of key best practices associated with the Gentle Persuasive ApproachesTM curriculum. You will come away from the presentation with some person-centred care tips to take back to your own practice.

Bio: Dr. Lori Schindel Martin is a mixed methods researcher, educator and advanced practice nurse. Lori has extensive clinical background in the health care of older persons, in particular older people and their families who are living with dementia. Lori’s program of research is focused on the development of humanistic and person-centered health care practices and policies aimed at helping point-of-care staff support older persons with dementia during episodes of responsive behavior. This research includes knowledge transfer activities to enhance best practices related to responsive behavior of a physical nature, reluctance for bathing, and sexual expression. Lori has presented widely on these topics at national and international conferences and at local and provincial workshops developed for point-of-care staff. Lori is committed to community service dedicated to the health care of older persons, and as such is President, Gerontological Nursing Association Ontario (GNAO); Executive Member, Board of Directors, Advanced Gerontological Education (AGE); and, Chair, Gentle Persuasive Approaches (GPA) Advisory Committee, AGE.


SESSION 9

What’s coming in the next 25 years? PCH Projections for Manitoba’s RHAs Dan Chateau, PhD,

Research Scientist/Biostatistician, Manitoba Centre for Health Policy; Assistant Professor, Department of Community Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba

According to the Manitoba Bureau of Statistics, the number of Manitobans aged 75+ will

increase dramatically over the next 25 years. As a result, the need for care currently being

provided through personal care homes (PCHs) will also increase. We estimated the amount of

PCH care needed through the year 2036 in each of Manitoba’s Regional health Authorities

(RHA), by combining trends in PCH use rates with age/sex specific population projections. We

were also able to look at several other factors related to PCH need, such as inter-RHA migration

prior to, or after, PCH entry; days spent in hospital waiting for admission to a PCH; and the

potential impact of changes in informal supports (spouses and children) on the need for PCH

care. Not surprisingly, more care will be needed, with a minimum increase of 55% by 2036. But

it doesn’t all happen at once, and not all RHAs will see the same patterns in increased need for care.

Bio: Dr. Chateau is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba in the Department of Community Health Sciences and a Research Scientist for the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP). After receiving a PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Western Ontario, he took up a post at both MCHP and as a consultant in the Biostatistics Consulting Unit in the Faculty of Medicine. These positions provided a strong base in Health Services research and quantitative research methods. As a consultant he has worked on a broad range of projects for organizations as diverse as the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine, WRHA, Manitoba Health, the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health (the Level 4 lab on Arlington street), and numerous clinicians, such as ICU doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and members of other departments at the University and beyond. At present he is involved several projects at MCHP, including an evaluation of a physician education intervention to improve prescribing, analysing patient patterns of care between Primary Care Physicians and Specialists, examining the impact of Electronic Medical Records in Primary Care, and a large multi-year program of research examining policy interventions on child health.

Sexual Expression and Physical Intimacy in the Dementia Context: Balancing the Risks with Human Rights

Dr. Lori Schindel Martin, RN, PhD Associate Professor; Associate Director – Scholarly, Research & Creative Activities.

Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, Faculty of Community Services, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This session will address the forms of sexual intimacy among residents with

dementia living in Long Term Care Facilities. Sexual expression of cognitively

impaired older adults in LTCFs is often viewed as pathological or inappropriate. An

outcome of this viewpoint is that intimate relationships between residents are

censored and forbidden. The session will assist care providers to distinguish

between those sexual behaviors that should be interpreted as normal and those

that represent risk. It is important that sexual behavior be understood as a human

factor that is integral to the common goal of resident-centered care and is

essential at all stages of human development.

SESSION 12

Are you in pain? Identifying and Treating Pain in Patients with Dementia Gregory Harochaw, B. Sc

Pharmacy Manager Tache Pharmacy

One of the biggest challenges in treating pain in patients with dementia is realizing that they are in pain. Frequently the pain is undetected, misinterpreted or inaccurately diagnosed and behavioural changes are often attributed to a psychiatric problem. How can a healthcare provider assess pain in a patient who can’t verbally express their

discomfort? What treatment options are available that a caregiver may be not fully aware of? By the end of this workshop, caregivers will have a better understanding of how to gather this information and be able to utilize alternate routes of delivering medication. Bio: Gregory Harochaw graduated in 1982 with a B.Sc. Pharmacy from the University of Manitoba. Gregory joined Tache Pharmacy as the pharmacy manager in July of 2000 increasing his skills in the art of specialty compounding and specializing in erectile dysfunction, palliative care and most notably pain management. As a result, he has become a knowledgeable and accessible resource to physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists and patients. He is also the Winner of the 2011 Bonnie Schultz Award for practice excellence.


SESSION 13

Palliative and End-Of-Life Care in the Long Term Care Setting Mike Harlos MD, CCFP, FCFP, Medical Director of Adult and Pediatric Palliative Care for the WRHA

Professor and Section Head of Palliative Medicine at the University of Manitoba Sarah Brown, Clinical Nurse Specialist - WRHA Palliative Care Program

Lori Embleton, Program Director - WRHA Palliative Care Program

In the Long Term Care setting, the majority of residents are living with multiple comorbidities from chronic illness, often with significant impact on quality of life. In the context of ongoing functional decline, considerations around palliative and end-of-life care become increasingly important. Cognitive impairment may preclude the resident's participation in care planning, and can make symptom assessment difficult. Ensuring comfort and supporting families in the final days can be challenging for staff who are often caring for many patients. This presentation will review common issues that arise in providing palliative care in the Long Term Care setting, potential approaches to addressing the comfort needs of residents and supporting their families, and the role of the WRHA Palliative Care program in Long Term Care settings. Bios: Mike Harlos MD, CCFP, FCFP is Medical Director of Adult and Pediatric Palliative Care for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, and is Professor and Section Head of Palliative Medicine at the University of Manitoba. He has worked in Palliative Care for over 21 years, and has recently focused on Pediatric Palliative Care. Dr. Harlos is the Clinical Team Leader for the Canadian Virtual Hospice, and has also developed and maintains the site http://palliative.info, a site for palliative care links and resource material. Sarah Brown is a clinical nurse specialist in the WRHA Palliative Care Program with expertise in palliative care and geriatrics. She has a particular interest in pain management and the end of life care needs of the elderly in all clinical settings. Sarah is also a member of the Canadian Virtual Hospice clinical team, where she helps to develop and review clinical health information and answers questions submitted to Ask a Professional. Sarah has a Masters of Nursing degree from the University of Manitoba. Lori Embleton is the Program Director for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Palliative Care Program a position she has held since 2006. Lori received a Bachelor of Nursing Degree from the University of Manitoba and a Masters of Science in Administration from the University of Central Michigan. Lori has held a number of nursing positions throughout her career and received the CRNM Excellence in Professional Nursing Practice in 2009.

SESSION 14

You Can’t Always Get What You Want… The Client-Centred Conflict and Managing client choice in an over-extended environment

John Stinson, CEO Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (IERHA)

At the heart of a client-centred approach to care is the client’s right to choose where they will live when they are no longer able to live independently. Some clients are able to continue to live in their home with the addition of home-care supports but their families are concerned for their safety and pressure them to move to Supportive Housing or be paneled for placement in a Personal Care Home (PCH). Some clients need to go into Supportive Housing but would rather stay at home and refuse to accept their care reality. Some clients need to be cared for 24-7 in a personal care home but don’t want to go to the first available PCH or need to await PCH placement in an acute care hospital bed because no PCH space is available. Combine these dilemmas with a provincial health

system that is already stressed by a shortage of PCH beds, a lack of standards of care for supportive housing and assisted living, (due to the social model of care prescribed for these living options), a lack of affordable supportive housing and assisted living, and a reliance on an acute care system in crisis to bridge the gap and you have a recipe for disaster. This workshop will ask two key questions in the context of the role long term care professionals and leaders can play in solving these challenges:

1. Is client choice a sustainable principle in an overburdened system? 2. Does the importance placed on client choice lead to, or influence, poor decision making in relation to

the best client care? This workshop will be presented in the ‘Fish Bowl’ model and is intended to be interactive and to encourage audience participation. The ‘Fish Bowl’ format is managed by a single facilitator and starts with three panelists in a workshop arena surrounded by audience seating. As the dialogue progresses, audience members are encouraged to enter the arena and replace panelists to ask questions and contribute insights. Bio: John Stinson has spent the last 25 years working in the health and social services fields. He has worked on the front lines as a health educator and community animator, worked as a policy advisor and manager for Health Canada, and worked as a senior health executive in the community, provincial and private sectors. John spent over a decade at the front lines of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. He was a founding member of the NAMES Project Canada (Canada’s AIDS Memorial Quilt), is a past board member of the Canadian AIDS Society and was the founding Executive Director of Nine Circles Community Health Centre – Winnipeg’s integrated-services HIV/AIDS clinic. John is currently the CEO of Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority in Manitoba and prior to RHA amalgamation was Vice President of Acute Care and Planning and then the CEO for South Eastman. Just prior to joining South Eastman Health, John was the Chief Executive Officer of CHOICE self-directed healthcare (an international medical tourism company), and just prior to that was the Assistant Deputy Minister of Corporate and Provincial Program Support for Manitoba Health. In previous lives when John still had hair he was a radio disc jockey, a newspaper writer, a community college instructor and a stand-up comedian. His wife, daughter, friends, family and co-workers suffer through his off-the-wall sense of humor and his passionate opinions on anything and everything.
