Learn to Observe, Interview, Confront and Resolve Bullying Incidents in your Community

Senior living has its own challenges when compared to typical multifamily housing. From the special needs of seniors to the bullying and formation of cliques, it can be quite challenging. This webinar will give you some strategies to help you deal with seniors.

Those who manage senior housing need to know how to recognize the behavior – and what to do about it.

One of the major difficulties is a senior property is that of bullying. We will discuss some other reasons for bullying that may not be apparent such as transitioning into an assisted living community can be stressful for some, and new residents may feel a sense of powerlessness moving into a more supportive, communal environment. Therefore, they make seek out a way to demonstrate some form of control.
 
Residents may also live with certain health conditions, which may contribute to aggressive behaviors. For example, individuals living with dementia may have a need they cannot express or be in a situation they cannot understand. They may also no longer have the ability to verbally communicate, and therefore, act out in a physical way. Dementia can also cause impulse controls to decrease, often stripping residents of their mental filter. So, residents with dementia may say things that could be construed as verbal bullying.
