“…However, in many homes, especially those in rural areas, it may be a challenge for nursing homes to identify psychologists who are either interested in or prepared to do clinical work and PCC in nursing home settings due to the shortage of geropsychologists in the workforce. Across nursing homes in the United States, psychologists can and do play a central role in culture change through clinical practices that promote PCC (Carney & Norris, 2016;Norris, Molinari, & Ogland-Hand, 2003;Rosowsky, Casciani, & Arnold, 2009), as well as through program development, evaluation, and other research initiatives.…”

Nursing homes have been challenged in their attempts to achieve deep, organizational change (i.e., culture change) aimed at providing quality of care and quality of life for nursing home residents through person-centered care. To attain deep change, 2 well-defined components must be in place: a shared understanding of (a) the what, or content goals, and (b) the how, or process of change. However, there are few examples of this at a macro or micro level in long-term care. In an effort to enact true culture change in nursing homes statewide, the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services implemented the Promoting Excellent Alternatives in Kansas Nursing Homes program. This program is a Medicaid, pay-for-performance program that formalizes the content and process of achieving culture change through person-centered care principles. This article aims to detail the content (what) and process (how) of a model macro-level program of culture change throughout the State of Kansas. Applications to the micro level (individual homes) are presented, and implications for psychologists' roles in facilitating culture change are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…Although the vast majority of older adults live independently in the community, those with the most severe forms of physical and mental health problems (most notably some form of dementia or other chronic mental disorder like schizophrenia) cannot effectively or safely live at home or at other supportive environments (like a congregate living facility) and thus are placed in nursing homes designed to meet their serious care needs. Working with older adults in these settings requires specialized training, knowledge, competencies, and skills (Hyer & Intrieri, 2006;Molinari, 2000;Norris, Molinari, & Ogland-Hand, 2002;Rosowsky, Casciani, & Arnold, 2009). Clinical work in LTC settings is especially challenging because clients are often affected by a multitude of impeding factors, including financial, medical, social, cognitive, and psychiatric issues.…”
