This book discusses biopsychosocial barriers and facilitators of long-term care services, focusing on health promotional activities targeted to maximize quality of life. This knowledge of meaningful activities helps to identify and improve strategies for supporting people living in long-term care facilities with various chronic disorders at a deeper level. Although no all-encompassing theory of caregiving has yet been developed, this book explores various theoretical formulations as central aspects of promoting health in long-term care practices.
The current culture change in long-term care controls the well-being of the concerned person physically, psychologically, socially, and economically. In later life, these issues profoundly impact individuals' morbidity and lifespan. Further, it has been evidenced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' five-star rating system that provides long-term care facilities quality information to the public does not fully represent what matters to the residents from their perspectives. Resident satisfaction is an integral part of the quality of care; instead of clinical quality measures only, it is influenced by residents, their family members, staff, and administration. Person-centered care not only requires a 'culture change' in how residents and caregivers work together, but it also requires facilities to ensure staff deliver care with the highest possible level of empathy and adopt meaningful care practices.
