In this episode, nurse surveyor Linzie Bugg addresses stress in long-term care (LTC) settings during Stress Awareness Month. She highlights how unmanaged stress among staff, residents, and families negatively impacts care quality, teamwork, regulatory compliance, and survey outcomes. Linzie shares practical, evidence-based strategies, including mindfulness breaks, gratitude boards, peer support, reset spaces, and leadership involvement, to help LTC facilities proactively manage stress. She emphasizes that small, consistent actions, rather than costly programs, drive meaningful cultural change.
