Frequently Asked Questions 

Question: When will I get my eight CEUs?

CEUs will be issued via email after the event. 

Question: Can I bring children?

No, children may not come to this event. Some residents need space and quiet to explore the exhibits comfortably. Other residents may not be allowed around children.

Question: Can I bring my residents with me at 7 a.m?

Yes, but we encourage you to wait and have caregivers bring residents no earlier than 9:30 a.m. OMSI requires that their staff be present in exhibit spaces. OMSI staff start at 9:30 a.m. so exhibit areas will be closed until then.

Question: Can I bring my residents to learning sessions?

No, in general residents should not plan on attending learning sessions. One exception is the learning session on Horticultural Therapy, from 1:15 – 2:15 p.m. Residents are encouraged to join Horticultural Therapy for an interactive activity!

Question: Are caregivers required to come with residents?

Depending on residents' needs, caregivers may need to accompany them. If residents are independent, they can come on their own. Otherwise a caregiver will need to accompany the residents. If a resident requires a one-on-one caregiver, they will need to be accompanied by a one-on-one caregiver at the event.

OMSI is an environment of visual, auditory and tactile stimulation. The museum is designed to be an accommodating space, but if your resident gets overwhelmed by this type of stimulus, you should have a plan in place to assist them, or consider the appropriateness of inviting them or not. 

Question: I didn’t include my resident’s name in the registration form and now he wants to attend. Is he allowed to come to the event?

Yes, residents and their accompanying caregivers are allowed to attend whether or not they are included in the registration.

Question: Will there be a quiet space to take a break?

Yes, there will be two designated quiet rooms if you or your resident need a break.

Question: Am I required to attend all four learning sessions to receive eight CEUs?

Yes, you will be required to check in to one learning session per time slot (four in total) in order to receive eight CEUs.

Question: Will the Adult Care Home Program office be open on Monday, June 9?

No, the Adult Care Home Program office will be closed due to the conference. No inspections or monitoring visits will be scheduled.
