Abstract Relationship-centered dementia care (RCDC) has been related to improved quality of residential long-term care for persons living with dementia (PLWD). The senses framework supports accomplishing RCDC, whereby PLWD meet fundamental needs or senses through caregiving relationships. This study explored the application of the senses framework to a non-residential, long-term care setting, and included relationships across formal and informal caregivers. The study design is a qualitative, descriptive study of PLWD (N=3), with matched formal (N=3) and informal (N=3) caregivers in one adult day care setting in North Carolina. Semi-structured individual interviews explored each of the six senses of security, belonging, continuity, purpose, achievement, and significance. Interviews were analyzed using both inductive and deductive thematic analysis. Themes elucidate convergence and divergence of how senses are met or not met across triads of caregiving relationships. Findings inform our understanding of how to integrate the larger social network of PLWD for relationship-centered care.

Person-centered care (PCC) is fundamental for providing high-quality care in long-term care homes. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of an 11-item Team Member Perspectives of Person-Centered Care (TM-PCC) survey, adapted from White and colleagues (2008). In a cross-sectional study, 461 staff from four long-term care homes in Ontario, Canada, completed the TM-PCC. Construct validity and internal consistency of the TM-PCC were examined with a principal component analysis and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Findings revealed a three-component structure with factor 1, Supporting Social Relationships; factor 2, Familiarity with Residents’ Preferences; and factor 3, Meaningful Resident–Staff Relationships. The TM-PCC, as compared to the original survey, presented with less components (i.e., did not address Resident Autonomy, Personhood, Comfort, Work with Residents, Personal Environment, and Management Structure), yet included one new component (Meaningful Resident–Staff Relationships). The TM-PCC has a similar internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient 0.82 vs. White et al. 0.74–0.91). The TM-PCC can be used to assess PCC from the staff’s perspective in long-term care homes.

Background: Effective communication between residents with dementia and care providers in long-term care homes (LTCHs) is essential to resident-centered care. Purpose: To determine the effects of a communication intervention on residents’ quality of life (QOL) and care, as well as care providers’ perceived knowledge, mood, and burden. Method: The intervention included (1) individualized communication plans, (2) a dementia care workshop, and (3) a care provider support system. Pre- and postintervention scores were compared to evaluate the effects of the intervention. A total of 12 residents and 20 care providers in an LTCH participated in the feasibility study. Results: The rate of care providers’ adherence to the communication plans was 91%. Postintervention, residents experienced a significant increase in overall QOL. Care providers had significant improvement in mood and perceived reduced burden. Conclusion: The results suggest that the communication intervention demonstrates preliminary evidence of positive effects on residents’ QOL and care providers’ mood and burden.

During this unprecedented time of older adults (specifically those living with dementia) requiring services, caregiving and social opportunities amongst their places of residence (including long term care facilities, senior apartment buildings, supportive living spaces and within the community), it is imperative that we adjust our current model of care from “patient-centered” to “relationship-centered”.
