WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE!

ODONA/LTC was established on January 17, 1990 when DON's from throughout Ohio gathered and adapted a Constitution and Bylaws. Sixty-seven founding members carried the torch to bring ODONA/LTC to its presence today.

ODONA/LTC is the only organization in Ohio established by DON's, for DON's, and managed by DON's. This is your organization!

We welcome you to our website and hope the information contained herein is helpful. Please feel free to call our toll-free ODONA/LTC "hotline" at 866-226-3662 for more information. We look forward to having the opportunity to enhance and support you in your endeavors as a Director of Nursing in Long Term Care.


Letter from the Chairperson Peggy Kish RN,
Clinical Services Director for Zandex Health Care

With summer here and October 1st fast approaching we in Long Term Care are trying to prepare for the new MDS 3.0, along with keeping survey outcomes at best. This MDS 3.0 will create a major change in the way we conduct our assessments and will surely impact our survey outcomes along with reimbursement. Education of your IDT is essential for the success of your facility. ODONA strives to continue to offer this education and assistance to the Directors of Nursing, if you have any suggestions of how we can assist you in any way please contact any of the members listed throughout this letter. We are also interested in any suggestions or ideas to make your involvement easier. Got an idea? Email it to us at: odonaltc@gmail.com

In discussion at the ODONA board meetings as well as the local Region meetings "networking" is one valuable tool we all find so helpful with tackling our challenging jobs. Having the opportunity discuss with others what has proven to be a best practice and just being able to listen to others can help you. Mark your calendar to join us at our next annual convention (February 27, 28, and March 1, 2011) or any regional meeting in your area for this opportunity. If you are interested in attending a Board Meeting as a guest, please contact the ODONA office at odonaltc@gmail.com or (866) 226-3662 [toll-free]. All of us working together can be a wealth of knowledge.
