Sleeping, waking, bathing -- we want to live                            according to our own daily life rhythms.

This workshop is designed for nurses who believe that residents should be able to continue to direct their own lives while living in a nursing home.  Changing nursing systems from the traditional nursing home model to a resident-directed model benefits not only residents, but also the people that provide care.
