America’s aging population continues to increase in numbers and in cultural diversity. With the influx of Baby Boomers of all races and nationalities, senior living communities must learn to embrace and accept the different customs associated with this population of seniors.

By 2060, it is estimated that 57% of seniors in America will be Caucasian, while 43% will be racial minorities. As the make-up of senior living communities’ changes, administrators and front-line staff are given the opportunity to embrace new cultures and celebrate diversity. Acknowledging cultural differences in your residents gives your community the opportunity to observe religious holidays, foods, or customs that they might not be accustomed to.

This webinar will address several topics related to embracing cultural diversity. The presenter will touch on what exactly cultural diversity is, the benefits of inclusion of all residents, and how to welcome all to your community.

After successful completion of this training module, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the core ideas of cultural competence
2. Recognize the Four Pillars of cultural competence
3. Why cultural competence matters in our communities.
4. Identify the benefits of cultural awareness and competency
5. Explore respectful communication tips.
6. Examine attitudes, perceptions, and feelings regarding cultural diversity and how it affects our relationships with others.
7. Engage in conversations regarding everyday examples.
8. Explore resources
