The DIAMONDS BEHAVIOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
- As a Nursing Home Administrator with over 30 years of industry experience, it became highly evident that the overwhelming majority of long term care facility's lack the appropriate mental health services, staff training and structured programming geared towards appropriately managing higher functioning long term care residents with various psychiatric diagnoses and behavior challenges. Fragmentation between the contracted mental health and facility team members further compounds the problem. I thus embarked on a journey to develop a behavior management nursing home program that would have a significant positive impact on the residents quality of life as well as reduce the burden and stress of the team members trying to manage them. Years in the making, the DIAMONDS BEHAVIOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM has been recognized by Trinitas Regional Medical Centers Department of Behavioral Health and others as an innovative Behavior Management LTC Program benefiting this population. This comprehensive one-of-a-kind person-centered Program is ideal for those professionals wanting to have a structured Program on a dedicated unit or wing. The DIAMONDS BEHAVIOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM incorporates many critical elements to better assist the Interdisciplinary Team in proactively identifying and eliminating root causes of behaviors, techniques to re-direct challenging behaviors along with many other creative components to therapeutically engage participants. Enhanced collaboration and dialogue between the mental health providers and the facility team further ensures resident positive outcomes.

The first is providing the complete DIAMONDS BEHAVIOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM for challenging behaviors in nursing homes Toolkit and consultative services to collaborate with the facility and mental health teams in establishing the Program.
