Episode 36 Wellness Tips for Staff in Long Term Care
In this episode, we explore the vital role of wellness in post-acute and assisted living care for the nurses and caregivers who support them every day. The discussion highlights how emotional, physical, and social well-being directly impacts long-term care professionals. Staff wellness is just as essential as the quality of care provided—and it profoundly influences the care residents receive.

Episode 35 Enhanced Barrier Precautions
In this episode, we dive into the latest infection control updates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), focusing on the newly expanded Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for skilled care facilities. These precautions are designed to reduce the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs).
We will explore:
What EBP entails and how it differs from traditional contact precautions
Which residents are affected and why they’re considered high-risk
Implementation strategies, including PPE use during high-contact care activities like dressing, bathing, and wound care
Practical challenges and benefits for facilities, staff, and residents
Whether you're a nurse, administrator, or infection preventionist, this episode offers essential insights into how long-term care is evolving to meet the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.

Episode 34 Antibiotic Stewardship
In this episode, we dive into the critical issue of antibiotic overprescribing in long-term care. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to serious consequences—like C. diff infections, harmful drug interactions, and antibiotic resistance.
For older, more vulnerable residents, these risks can significantly impact their quality of life, limiting their ability to participate in daily activities, social events, and the community around them.
Join us as we explore the principles of antibiotic stewardship—a proactive approach to ensuring antibiotics are used only when truly necessary, and in the most effective way possible. It’s all about protecting our residents, improving outcomes, and supporting healthier, more active lives in long-term care.
