1. Honoring the Resident’s Voice: From Med Pass to Dining.

2. Program Overview
This program reviews the identified problem of residents having limited input on their daily life and how we chose to solve it. It addresses the liberalization of all of the aspects of our home, by putting the decision making back into the hands of each individual. This includes medication times, bathing schedules, therapy schedules, meals and meal times and eliminating tray service. We will review our process for implementation, modifications we made, our struggles along the way and our plan for sustainability.
