Episode Fifteen: Success in the ALF

The Hospice Nursing Podcast

In this episode Brian and I finally coordinate our schedules to record the first of two episodes to address the challenges working interdisciplinary with staff inside of facilities.

This episode was very eye opening for me, and I think it will be for you too.

Hold on to your hats, because this episode comes in at a little over 90 minutes. Hopefully, you find it to be as inspiring as I do.
Brian shares with us his journey from hospital ICU, through a 16 year hospice journey and why he decided to move to ALF leadership.

Throughout this episode there is plenty of practical advice. There is also some insight into what it can be like to run and work at an ALF.
By the end of our visit my appreciation for the staff inside of an ALF skyrocketed. Inside of the hospice community there is just too much complaining regarding our ALF partners. As we wrapped up this episode I was filled with a new appreciation for the hard task ALF staff have.

If I were to sum up the whole episode in one word in two words it would be, ”Accountability.” That accountability is on our part. The only people we have control of is ourselves. That is an obvious theme in this episode as it is in just about everything else that comes out of this website.

I hope you will embrace this episode and find it to be the kind of motivation you need to help you be that much better when you are working with our friends in ALF.
