The NSCA's recently released manuscript, Long-term residential care policy guidance for staff to support resident quality of life is now published in The Gerontologist.
A new study from @MSVU_NSCA suggests that staff working in Canadian long-term care (LTC) centres often struggle to balance care directives and resident-preferred quality of life supports, which are themselves sometimes at odds with policy expectations msvu.ca/staff-flexibility-ke…

Even before #COVID19, there was an increase in the number of residents dying in #LTC homes. They are often not set up to provide #PalliativeCare. Now is the time to change that.
