Moderated by LaVrene Norton of Action Pact, Inc. this video was recorded live at the Pioneer Conference held in Chicago in August of 2002. The video features clips from frontline staff commenting on the challenges of culture change. After each clip a panel dicussion ensues in which three CEOs talk about how they got started in culture change and how they created three unique long term care environments.

Steve Shields of Meadowlark Hills in Manhattan, Kansas, talks about the household model. Steve McAlilly of United Methodist Senior Services in Mississippi describes the new Green House initiative. Paul Mikelson of Lyngblomsten in St. Paul, Minnesota shares their adventures in bringing the Swedish Care Model to the United States. The presentation was well received at the conference (standing room only) so the video is sure to make for captivating viewing by leadership and staff alike.

Presented by: Steve Shields, BSW, CEO, Meadowlark Hills Retirement Community; Steve McAlilly, Ph.D, United Methodist Senior Services of Mississippi; Paul Mikelson, MS, Lyngblomsten.
