From Good Sleep to Wellness
“There are multiple causes of sleep disruption among the elders in our care; we do not want our routines and practices to be one of them.”
- Marilyn Oelfke, RN
Participants will take an in-depth look at the impact of sleep or lack of sleep on the life of those they serve.
