| Annotation | The authors use secondary analysis of primary qualitative data that explored the value of a café in an aged-care residential facility, compared with culture change principles established from a literature review, to discuss the value of such a café as a vehicle for culture change. Secondary analysis in this New Zealand study established congruence between culture change principles and the themes established by the primary qualitative data. A café in one aged-care facility has facilitated the following dimensions of culture change for residents: individualised care, facilitation of meaningful relationships, opportunities for participation in life roles, and creation of a sense of belonging. The literature suggested three central themes of culture change - person-centred care, meaningful relationships, and the social and physical environment - while the food and dining experience are of significance too. Culture change can be achieved through environmental innovations, such as a café, where food and dining maximise social opportunities and create a homelike environment that facilitates continuation of residents' identity.
