Abstract
Characteristically, nursing home care in the United States was focused on improving clinical outcomes for residents (Castle and Ferguson, 2010). Much less attention was paid to the living environment and quality of life while delivering this care. However, in the 1990s, some providers began to move nursing home care towards a more home-like environment in which processes were more resident friendly (White-Chu et al., 2009). This became known as person-centred care (or resident-centred care (RCC)) and the ensuing movement that more fully operationalized this process was termed ‘culture change’ (Rahman and Schnelle, 2008). In this research, we report on the findings from a nationally representative sample of nursing homes examining how embedded RCC practices have become in US nursing homes and identify some factors associated with use of these practices.
