Culture Change Makes Headlines

We're all looking forward to the day when person-centered, resident-directed care in a home environment is the norm. A big step toward that goal is getting the general public to expect it of nursing homes, to see there can be a better way and not just have to shrug their shoulders and say, "I don't really want to put mom in this institution, but that's just the way it is."

Awareness of culture change efforts is essential not only among providers, but consumers. A recent article in the Chicago Tribune does a wonderful service to all of us by telling the culture change story to its many readers.

We're thrilled to see Action Pact client Three Crowns Park in Evanston, IL recognized for their efforts in the article! Congrats!

The St. Louis Post Dispatch also recently featured households and Action Pact client Lutheran Senior Services. Read about their exciting work here: http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/fitness/article_9b4924bd-b843-5a72-b734-8ecdfdcc1d4d.html

Comment by Linda R Smith on September 17, 2010 at 6:12pm: Regarding Culture change, here is something which I am deeply committed to; so much so that I have recently launched our new business concept: LSC Legacy of LifeCare Programs. This is a family owned enterprise which is focused on changing dynamics within the health care industry. Since over 18 years of serving in this industry of LTC, I am very aware of challenges. My projects focus on decentralized LTC settings from large faciltiy domains into community and upscale urbanized neighborhood settings. Our team can come into your location and take you all the way through the phase in and phase out of this modality. We can revamp what you already have and offer projects and initiatives which direct you into a transformational processing within your own campus environment to modeling after the same type urbanized structural changes and programs. I enjoyed this article and understand the frustrations being felt!
