Resident-Centered Care in Long-Term Care Facilities

Course overview

This course explores the foundational principles of delivering individualized, compassionate care in long-term care settings. This course introduces caregivers, healthcare professionals, and long-term care staff to the philosophy and practice of resident-centered care - an approach that honors the preferences, values, and unique life experiences of each resident. Moving beyond task-oriented care, this model emphasizes collaboration, dignity, autonomy, and quality of life. Participants will learn how to incorporate resident voices into care planning, adapt daily routines to support individual choice, and create an environment where residents feel heard, respected, and valued.
