Abstract:
1. The move to a long-term care facility often strips elders of self-control and decision-making, leading to a sense of powerlessness and low self-esteem. 2. Life is measured day to day. Restoring choices in activities of daily living, nutrition and fluids, and social activities allows clients to function at maximum autonomy while reducing the workload of staff. 3. The key is a change of focus. Innovative changes providing variety and choice in long-term care facilities are achievable and cost-effective.
