Hospital readmissions are costly, disruptive, and often preventable—especially for older adults transitioning home after a hospital stay. The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) evaluates readmission rates for six high-impact conditions and procedures: Heart Failure, Heart Attack, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, Elective Total Hip or Knee Replacement, and Pneumonia.

Professionals play a critical role in ensuring safe, smooth transitions that reduce the risk of readmissions. This webinar will highlight the most common challenges older adults face after discharge—such as medication management, mobility limitations, and follow-up adherence—and provide practical strategies to address them. Participants will learn how incorporating home-based support can improve recovery, promote independence, and lessen the burden on family caregivers.

One of the hardest questions families face is knowing when it’s time to bring in additional care. The decision often comes with uncertainty, guilt or fear of “waiting too long.” At the same time, professionals play a key role in recognizing the warning signs and helping families make timely, informed choices that support safety, recovery, and quality of life.

Rather than waiting for a crisis, professionals can help families see the value of introducing care earlier—whether during hospital discharge, after rehab, or when day-to-day challenges begin to impact health and independence. By identifying risk factors such as medication non-adherence, mobility concerns, or missed follow-ups, professionals can guide families toward care options that prevent readmissions, reduce stress, and promote peace of mind at home.

Solutions That Sustain: Cultivating Community, Advancing Practice

Our annual conferences bring together professionals from child welfare law and intersecting fields and further NACC’s mission by exchanging ideas, information, and collective efforts.  The theme of this year’s conference is Solutions That Sustain: Cultivating Community, Advancing Practice.

This year’s theme invites child welfare professionals to move beyond identifying problems and toward uplifting and co-creating systems and practices that work. Sustainable practice equips professionals to serve effectively and resiliently amid ongoing challenges, while sustainable community builds collaboration, mentorship, and shared purpose.

The conference will explore how to cultivate communities of practice that empower clients and colleagues, bridge gaps across disciplines and jurisdictions, and inspire compassionate, lasting solutions for children and families. 

For adoptive, foster, and kinship caregivers AND child welfare professionals.

Our 2026 theme, Rooted in Resilience: Honoring the Past, Grounding the Present, invites the social work education community to reflect on the enduring strength and adaptability of the profession, especially as we navigate times of transformation and challenge.

Conversations about end-of-life care can be some of the most difficult—and most important—that professionals help facilitate. Families often struggle with knowing when and how to discuss topics such as advance directives, goals of care, and the balance between quality of life and medical intervention. By guiding these discussions with compassion and clarity, professionals can help ensure that an individual’s values and wishes are honored, while easing the emotional burden on families.

This webinar will equip professionals with tools and strategies to initiate meaningful conversations about end-of-life planning. Participants will explore practical approaches to advance care planning, learn how to navigate family dynamics, and gain confidence in supporting older adults and their loved ones through these deeply personal decisions.
