Person Centered Care Entry One

This blog will be dedicated to my capstone project of implementation of a person-centered care model in a long-term care facility.  This project focuses on the "normal" choices of life such as when to eat, bathe, sleep ect.  It gives residents the choice in their current enviroment.  The goals are to improve quality of life and care.  The goals in regards to staff are to improve job satisfaction with care provided.  It's exciting and needed.  My mentor has been a gerontology nurse for 20+ years and has a passion for this much needed implementation.  I am looking forward to the process.  Thank You
