In the morning we had a discussion about the <br />“Person-Centered Approach to Residents’ Well-Being” led by the Ombudsman from Durham County. <br />There was a discussion from all of the counties on what their challenges are and how they recruit and <br />retain members as well as their relationships with their Board of County Commissioners. Two Orange <br />County Board Members (Teri Driscoll) from the Nursing Home CAC and (Jack Vogt) from the AHC CAC led <br />a sharing discussion on what the officers thought were their best practices. The Orange County <br />members shared with everyone how we have implemented our Learning Collaborative Awards that we <br />have each year and Project EngAGE. <br /> <br />Our next meeting will be on November 3, 2015 at 5:30 pm at the Seymour Center. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Teri Driscoll <br />
