I learned that residents themselves have final say when it comes to sexual expression and intimacy, and that substitute decision-makers and those with power of attorney have no say. Case studies were helpful.
I learned so much in the MAID course — that we should have a MAID designate in our home, the policies that needed to be in place, and more. It was a valuable session.
The most valuable takeaway for me was a new understanding of the legislation. Now I can make reference to it when dealing with requests.
