| Annotation | Families of residents with dementia from five nursing homes were interviewed to assess whether they believed improvements were needed in the care provided to their relatives. Quality of care was assessed in a variety of service and staff areas that factored into two domains of care: environmental and administrative services; and direct care. Findings reveal the importance of promoting positive family-staff interactions providing direct care in a sensitive manner. The findings also explore the reasons why families get involved in activities of daily living (ADLs) to improve family satisfaction with care. (KJ/RH). |
