Driven by the desire of consumers, consumer advocates and people working in LTC, the delivery of long term care is changing dramatically. The focus is on resident choice, creating an atmosphere that is person-centered.
Research has shown that facilities utilizing the person-centered care approach experience a higher rate of resident and staff satisfaction. Occupancy rates are higher and staff turnover is lower in facilities that have implemented Pioneer Culture Change.
It is possible to change the culture of aging. You and your organization have the potential to bring culture change alive. You are invited to join the Southwestern Illinois Pioneer Coalition for Culture Change and become a "Partner on the Journey".
Join now and help make a difference in the lives of our elders.
Together we can make a difference.
