Resident Centred Care

In this course, students will explore the resident centred care model and how it can be operationalized in Canadian retirement communities to effectively support residents and their well being. Topics include an examination of the various care roles that support residents such as nurses and personal support workers, infection control policies and procedures, best practices in nursing documentation and medication management, techniques for provision of compassionate and appropriate end of life care, and the elements of resident care that enable the creation of a safe, age-friendly retirement community that enhances the quality of life for residents.
