Change in the culture of long-term care and the care of our elders
is urgently needed! This insightful book lights the way. This book
will inform you about the theoretical and practical applications of
culture change within the institutional long-term care setting. It
examines existing models of positive cultures, emphasizing
philosophy, underpinning, and implementation. You'll gain a greater
understanding of theoretical frameworks for organizational change,
of the changes that can occur in all members of the long-term care
community, and of culture change in the context of broad
organizational experience and cultural competence. From the
editors: This text provides a timely and comprehensive approach to
understanding culture change from the perspective of management and
business as well as policy and regulatory guidelines and the
framework for aging services. It will provide the reader with an
understanding of the current state of the art in conceptualizing
long-term care environments that are resident-centered and
resident-directed, that respect the individuality of the staff, and
that are high-performance entities. The theory and practice of
culture change are presented with an eye toward a future where
aging people and their families will be both consumers and
providers of long-term care. The first section of Culture Change in
Long-Term Care explores the cultural values existing in today's
long-term care environment that make us desirous of culture change.
The second section examines existing models and networks of culture
change in long-term care, including the Eden Alternative,
Wellspring, and Pioneer Network Section three brings you to the
frontline with case studies from urban, suburban, and rural
facilities, facilities with and without unionized staff, facilities
from various geographic regions of the United States, and
facilities whose experience ranges from years to a decade.
Processes, challenges, and qualitative/quantitative findings are
included. Section four provides international perspectives, with
practical advice from Australia, Sweden, and British Columbia. The
final section of Culture Change in Long-Term Care explores the
underlying question: Is change realistic? This section explores the
role of state government, public policy, and the regulatory
environment in accomplishing culture change. With Culture Change in
Long-Term Care you'll get a theoretical perspective on culture and
culture change, as well as quality-of-life models and case studies
that will help you learn ifand howsuch a process is achievable in
your institution. Make it a part of your professional collection
