From the Commonwealth Fund, "In the Literature: Highlights from Commonwealth Fund-Supported Studies in Professional Journals."
This document summarizes an article published online in The Gerontologist, in Aug. 19, 2009, which examined a partnership between an New York City nursing home union and 30 nursing homes to help implement "person-centered care" at the facilities. Results showed an improvement in quality of life, with residents gaining more autonomy and privacy and many employees experiencing greater job satisfaction.
