Part of the series Leading Principles & Practices in Elder Care, Culture Change in Elder Care is a one-of-a-kind exploration of the ongoing efforts to revolutionise elder care in America, with contributions from many of the innovators who have championed the 'culture change' movement. Supporting the ideals of person-centred care from economic, practical, and moral perspectives, it also speaks to the changing demands of long-term care consumers and how care communities will remain competitive by creating settings where residents and staff can live and grow, and not just grow old. Gain insight into the essential arguments, values, and business case for why traditional care models have and must change to better serve the needs of today's older adults.
