Resident outcomes of person-centered care in long-term care: A narrative review of interventional research

Resident-centred care and architecture of two different types of caring residences: a comparative study

“…I have chosen the term ‘resident-centredʼ for this article because the focus is on two residences for older residents in need of care) is a hallmark of care practices (Li & Porock, 2014; Yee, Capitman, Leutz, & Sceigaj, 1999). There is no common definition of this care ideology either in practice or theory (Li & Porock, 2014), but certain shared elements can be identified.…”

There is no common definition of this care ideology either in practice or theory (Li & Porock, 2014), but certain shared elements can be identified. Resident-centred care is holistic and aims to satisfy the older individual’s needs, wishes and choices, provide individualized care, and strengthen his or her autonomy and self-determination (Brownie & Nancarrow, 2013; Li & Porock, 2014; McCormack et al, 2010; Morgan & Yoder, 2012; Yee et al, 1999).…”

Resident-centred care concerns not just a relationship between a nurse or caregiver and an older person, but needs to be considered in a wider context of relations including, for instance, family, community, caring culture and, of particular relevance to this paper, the built or physical environment (McCormack & McCance, 2006; Nolan, Davies, Brown, Keady, & Nolan, 2004).…”

“…Although authors have highlighted the importance of the physical environment for resident-centred care (Li & Porock, 2014; McCormack & McCance, 2010), the architectural environment is poorly understood in relation to this type of care or its equivalents. Few studies have focused upon this topic, although one paper focusing explicitly on the environment studies patient-centred care and hospital architecture (Bromley, 2012).…”

Caring for people with advanced dementia living in nursing homes

“…A recent review indicated that massage reduced levels of agitation 17 . Interventions supporting person centered care have been shown to reduce agitation 18 and behavioural disturbance 19 . There is some evidence for individualised interventions, within a bio-psychosocial framework, improving behavioural symptoms 20 .…”
