At Nursing Homes, Fears of a Budget 'Armageddon'

Culture change in long-term care is a growing trend to "rethink" the way nursing homes are organized and run. Across the country, more and more long-term care providers are recognizing that changing the way things have been done is not only a smart business move, but also a way to increase opportunities for people living in nursing homes to thrive.

DADS (Texas Department of Aging and Disability) recently introduced a new phase in its culture change initiative that will bring attention to the benefits of person-directed care, also called person-centered care.
