Lee Ann, what an awesome and valuable interest of study! I am creating a policy for my skilled nursing facility for the Phase 3 trauma-informed care per the CMS §483.25(m) requirements. I've had great difficulty in finding any examples of either a similar policy or a newly implemented one that meets the guidelines and Requirements of Participation/RoPs CMS has mandated. Please let me know if you come across a facility that already has such a policy in place. I've collected a lot of resources here and elsewhere, however, I've yet to find any examples of existing policies specifically related to older adults in SNF. It would be so helpful to visualize what that truly looks like as I continue in my efforts to frame all of the necessary components into a concise, comprehensive, compliant, and functional policy.
I truly hope you will someday publish your dissertation. It would be a tremendous resource to so many of us providing care for the aging in our communities and those receiving post-acute skilled care/long-term care in nursing facilities. Thank you and all the best in your endeavors.
Brenda
