Post-Acute Long Term Care Educational Recordings
The Gateway Geriatric Education Center developed modules to support the care of older adults residing in in post-acute long term care settings. Designed primarily for residential staff, this educational content includes:
•10-15 (narrations) and 4-5 (videos) minutes for maximum attention span

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
Designated as the North American Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Training Institute, the Gateway Geriatric Education Center at Saint Louis University provides training and support for Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST). CST is an evidence-based, non-pharmacologic, structured group or individual intervention for persons experiencing mild to moderate memory impairment.
Rapid Geriatric Assessment
The Rapid Geriatric Assessment (RGA) is a brief screening tool that:
• provides a brief, reliable method for detecting common geriatric syndromes, including frailty, sarcopenia, geriatric anorexia, and cognitive function;
• helps identify problems for which early interventions are most likely to be successful; and
• enables tracking of changes over time (annual screening checks)
