Restoring autonomy and choice in daily activities, nutrition, and social engagement empowers elders in long-term care facilities. This shift enhances self-esteem and autonomy while being cost-effective for staff.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Autonomy

Background:

  • Long-term care placement often diminishes elders' self-control and decision-making capacity.
  • This loss of autonomy can lead to feelings of powerlessness and reduced self-esteem among residents.
  • Daily life in facilities is often regimented, limiting opportunities for personal choice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the impact of restoring choice on elder autonomy and well-being in long-term care.
  • To identify practical strategies for increasing resident decision-making in daily activities.
  • To assess the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of implementing choice-driven care models.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on shifting facility operations to prioritize resident choice.
