Right now I am the Team Leader of our emergency evacuation/shelter in place team for our small church. We do have attendees that require assistance, and I have already put into action a list that identifies those that require assistance and a plan to get them to safety. However, this course brought to light additional preparedness strategies that I plan on implementing for our team. Thank you for a great course.

Let's take a look at what OTs/Cotas really do. In SNFs...VERY disappointing. Sadly, they co-treat ALL DAY LONG w/PTs in many SNFs. CNAs report OTs don't do ADLs...never mind toilet transfers/tasks. What's up with that?

Excellent course!!!! Plan to share this information with my supervising OTR in order to address this in the plan of care for our patients that are planning to discharge to home. Right now, we cover the basics of what to do in case of an emergency such as fire and use of phone in our discharge planning. We will definitely expand on what we address. I have a caregiver support group every month for my patient's families, this information and topic will be addressed at our next meeting!! Awesome !
