Abstract
Person-centered care (PCC) is the “gold standard” to providing care in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care (PA/LTC) (The American Geriatrics Society Expert Panel on Person-Centered Care, J Am Geriatr Soc 64(1):15–8, 2016, Li and Porock, Int J Nurs Stud 51:1395–415, 2014). The core principle of PCC is to empower a person to communicate his/her values, preferences, and life goals to develop a person-centered and individualized care plan. Due to the high prevalence of cognitive impairment, family members are frequently asked to provide information about the person’s goals of life and life story to support the development of a congruent care plan. For many family members this responsibility can be overwhelming. However, the facility interdisciplinary team (IDT) and front-line staff can provide input to support the family.
