Culture Change in Long-Term Care


Price: $57.95


This book provides a timely and comprehensive approach to understanding culture change from the perspective of management and business as well as policy and regulatory guidelines and the framework for aging services. It will provide the reader with an understanding of the current state of the art in conceptualizing long term care environments that are resident-centered and resident-directed, that respect the individuality of the staff, and that are high-performance entities. The theory and practice of culture change are presented with an eye toward a future where aging people and their families will be both consumers and providers of long term care.
 
·  The first section of Culture explores the cultural values in today's long-term care environment that makes culture change desirable.
·  The second section examines existing models and networks of culture change in long term care, including the Eden Alternative, Wellspring, and the Pioneer Network.
·  Section three brings you to the front line with case studies from urban, suburban, and rural facilities, facilities with and without unionized staff, facilities from various geographic regions of the United States, and facilities whose experience ranges from years to a decade. Processes, challenges, and qualitative/quantitative findings are included.
·  Section four provides international perspectives, with practical advice from Australia, Sweden, and British Columbia.
·  The final section explores the underlying question:  "Is change realistic?" This section explores the role of state government, public policy, and the regulatory environment in accomplishing culture change
