Culture change in care settings
Culture change in care settings refers to shifting the way care facilities operate to become more person-centered, respectful, and compassionate. It involves creating an environment where residents feel valued, engaged, and empowered, rather than just being cared for in a routine or task-focused way. This approach promotes dignity, choice, and collaboration among staff, residents, and families, fostering a positive community. Culture change aims to improve quality of life, staff morale, and overall well-being by emphasizing respect, meaningful relationships, and adaptable care practices.
