Discover the essential benefits of approaching elder care in a more
person-centered way and be a part of transforming the culture of
long-term care. Culture Change in Elder Care is a one-of-a-kind
exploration of the ongoing efforts to revolutionize elder care in
America, with contributions from many of the innovators who have
championed the "culture change" movement. Supporting the ideals of
person-centered care from economic, practical, and moral
perspectives, it also speaks to the changing demands of long-term
care consumers and how care communities will remain competitive by
creating settings where residents and staff can live and grow, and
not just grow old. Gain insight into the essential arguments,
values, and business case for why traditional care models have and
must change to better serve the needs of today's older adults.
Highlighting the key principles of person-centered care, including
listening to the voice of elders and providing meaningful choices,
this book also: * debunks perceived legal and regulatory
impediments to culture change * promotes the changes needed at
local, state, and federal levels to bring focus to higher quality
of life and improved care practices * illuminates the many benefits
to be gained from embracing culture change * offers advice on the
future for community owners, administrators, and managers The most
up-to-date resource on the transformative changes occurring in
elder care services, Culture Change in Elder Care proves that new
approaches have become more than theory and are a practical
reality, with stronger justifications than ever before. Remain a
leading provider in your community-turn towards the future of elder
care and emphasize dignity, choice, and comfort in the day-to-day
lives of older adults.
