The Courses

Designed to familiarize participants with therapy’s role in LTC, equip them with efficient strategies for managing daily and weekly tasks, and facilitate collaboration with the interdisciplinary team.
Introduces basic skilled and long-term care payor sources, and how reimbursement works within a skilled nursing facility.
Trains therapists who are new or entering the workforce in LTC and SNFs on tips for time management, productivity, patient-centered care, and more.
Introduces requirements for good, skilled documentation and payer requirements. Includes two separate versions, one for the evaluator and one for the assistant therapist.
From daily notes to d/c, this training will cover all the key elements that go into good therapy documentation.

In this course, we review the fundamentals of what makes an evaluation accurate and thorough.

Understanding the foundational elements of self-care, mobility, and accuracy in documentation.

Helps therapists understand the basics of the “Patient Driven Payment Model” (PDPM), Medicare’s payment system, including clinical categories and components.

A comprehensive approach to increasing patient participation in therapy services by outlining effective strategies for responding to refusals, proactively addressing barriers such as pain and scheduling conflicts, and fostering engagement and motivation while exploring the role and purpose of clinical programming in rehabilitation, highlighting meaningful examples from past programs and interdisciplinary teams to inspire innovative, patient-centered practices.

Move past the dementia label to focus on how cognitive capacity shapes skilled intervention. Participants learn to align therapy approach, cueing, environmental setup, and goal-writing with a resident’s cognitive level and to articulate why each intervention requires the skills of a therapist rather than a restorative or caregiver approach.

Reframes swallowing safety as a team responsibility rather than an SLP-only concern. This course outlines the distinct roles PT, OT, and SLP each play in protecting residents at mealtime, from positioning and seating to self-feeding mechanics and diet-level carryover, and how coordinated documentation strengthens the skilled picture.

Shifts the focus from reacting to falls toward preventing them. Participants explore how to identify at-risk residents early, build proactive falls programming across disciplines, and connect screening, intervention, and documentation into a defensible, patient-centered program that supports both resident safety and skilled justification.

In this closing webinar, we walk through a fictional day of a therapist/assistant in the LTC setting, reviewing various patients, potential barriers and situations, beneficial assessments, and different documentation samples with a multitude of clinical reference resources.
