Partnership to Improve Dementia Care: Discovering Resident Experience of Care Toolkit 2024
The California Partnership to Improve Dementia Care formed a workgroup¹ to research and create a Person of Care Survey for residents with dementia and their families so communities have a standard tool for assessing if resident/family needs are being met. The workgroup discussions were broadened to recognize the importance of having ongoing conversations with individual residents on how they view their quality of care and quality of life, the key role of staff actions and observations, and integrating that knowledge into facility operations to improve care.

This document contains a Four-Part Approach to learning more about a resident’s choices, preferences, and baseline condition to integrate that knowledge into day-to-day resident care.
