April Conversation:
Bridging Roles: From Community Staff to Resident
Wednesday, April 24, 2024
12:00 pm-1:00 pm
Special Guest: David Carnahan, Resident
Conversation Starter: David Carnahan epitomizes resilience and determination! From his beginnings as a mechanic to his heroic tenure as a firefighter and EMT, he's shown unwavering dedication to his community. Despite encountering setbacks like total blindness and a speech impediment, David's passion for service has never dimmed. Instead, he's embraced new challenges, mastering skills like cooking and baking, and now finds fulfillment in teaching and motivating others. With a unique perspective gained from both working in and living in residential homes for eight years, David's journey is one of triumph over adversity. Join us for an inspiring presentation as David shares his remarkable transition from working to living to thriving beyond the confines of the residential home.
Join members of the team from MC5 and special guests the 4th Wednesday of selected months as we share stories and best practices, explore challenges faced, and together re-envision what Person-Directed Care can look like for seniors in Missouri, especially for those living and working in Missouri’s Long-Term Care and Assisted Livings communities.
Using Zoom, the format will be casual – a conversation – with special guests inviting participants to share, ask questions, explore, and plan for how through MC5, we can re-imagine and “move the movement” forward as we come out of the pandemic.

Remember the best of humanity lies within. A kind word, a smile, a hug, a wave, a silly dance, a comedy show to share from YouTube, a card or phone call--this is person-centered care. Celebrate. Communicate. Collaborate. Care. Change. MC5 appreciates YOU. If you need ideas for reaching out to your communities, contact us at missourimc5@gmail.com.
The MC5 Mission:
To promote and support ongoing collaboration within the adult care continuum to create environments where the dignity and value of each individual who lives or works there is respected and celebrated. MC5 uses Communication and Education to share and advance the philosophy and vision of person-centered care across the adult care continuum.
Programs and educational materials are provided without regard to race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability (mental or physical), communicable disease, or place of national origin.Thank you to the Friends of MC5 for sponsoring MC5! Martin Bros Distributing, EverSpring Pharmacy, and Guardian Pharmacy.
