Residential Long Term Care

Abstract Frontier communities are rural counties that are sparsely populated with limited resources to provide residential long-term care; COVID-19 has heightened these barriers and adversely affected residents, their families and staff. This study describes the feasibility of implementing recommended WE-THRIVE measures in one residential long-term care setting in a frontier community in the rural Midwest, and the capacity for administrative leadership to draw upon results of measures to implement person-centered care post-pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, early efforts to advance person-centered care in the setting were displaced by a focus on infection control and containment. WE-THRIVE measures assess person-centered care following immunization distribution, and are discussed in terms of how to develop a dashboard to ‘de-escalate’ a COVID-19 focus and rebuild momentum towards person-centered care. Particular attention is given to the context of measurement, including data sharing and measurement burden, to inform advancing person-centered long-term care in other frontier communities.

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.

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), there have been few deadlier places than in nursing homes. As such, several useful guidelines on coping with COVID-19 in nursing homes have emerged. The critical immediate term measures mentioned in the guidelines have longer term implications especially on quality of care. We discuss how these measures instituted for infection control can be synergistic with person-centered care which has been synonymous with quality of care in nursing homes.

Residential Long Term Care

The global prevalence of dementia is growing rapidly, driving an increased use of residential long-term care (LTC) services. Performance indicators for residential LTC should support targeting of limited resources to promote person-centered care, health, and well-being for both patients and caregivers (formal and informal), yet many performance indicators remain focused on structure, process, or outcome measures that are only assumed to support personally relevant outcomes for those with dementia, without direct evidence of meaningfulness for these individuals. In this article, two complementary approaches to assessing quality in residential LTC serve as a lens for examining a series of tensions related to assessment in this setting. These include measurement-focused approaches using generic psychometrically valid instruments, often used to monitor quality of services, and meaning-focused approaches using individual subjective assessment of personally relevant outcomes, often used to monitor care planning. Examples from the European and U.S. literature suggest an opportunity to strengthen an emphasis on personally meaning-focused outcomes in quality assessment.

RÉSUMÉLes approches de soins centrées sur la personne sont de plus en plus recommandées en vue d’améliorer la qualité des soins de longue durée. Au Québec (Canada), l’approche relationnelle de soins a été implantée dans plusieurs établissements. Cette étude porte sur le point de vue des soignants formés sur l’utilité de cette approche ainsi que sur leur capacité à la transférer en pratique. Des questionnaires comportant des questions ouvertes ont été administrés un mois après la formation (n=392). Les réponses ont été catégorisées selon une approche qualitative. Les répondants perçoivent que certaines dimensions de l’approche sont hors de leur portée ou s’opposent à leurs croyances. Ils rapportent des pressions liées aux contraintes temporelles, à leurs collègues ainsi qu’aux familles des résidents. Ces résultats indiquent que la formation ne suffit pas à transformer les pratiques. Il faut également agir sur les croyances des individus ainsi que sur les situations de travail

What Matters

Abstract Measuring what matters most to residents, relatives and staff in residential long-term care settings is critical, yet underdeveloped in our predominantly frailty and deficits-focused measurement frameworks. The Worldwide Elements to Harmonize Research in Long-Term Care Living Environments (WE-THRIVE) consortium has previously prioritized measurement concepts in the areas of care outcomes, workforce and staffing, person-centered care, and care context. These concepts include knowing the resident and what matters most to the resident, and outcomes such as quality of life, and personhood. We present findings of our currently recommended measures, including both general population and dementia-specific measures, such as the Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), the Personhood in Dementia Questionnaire (PDQ), and the ICEpop CAPability Measure for Older People (ICECAP-O). We also describe remaining gaps in existing measures that will need to be addressed to fully specify common data elements focused on measuring what matters most to residents, relatives and staff.
