Rethinking the Nursing Home: Culture Change Makes Headway in California

This issue brief (December 2008) from the California HealthCare Foundation, looks at person-centered care initiatives in California nursing homes.  The brief looks at the long-term care support system, barriers to improvement, financing and payment rates, an overview of culture change, and models for change. Although the brief focuses on California nursing homes, much of this information will be of interest to health care professionals, residents, or families interested in person-centered care.
