Sustaining a Palliative Approach to Care
Publish Date:
The Collaborative Project to Sustain a Palliative Approach to Care in Long-Term Care is a collaborative project that pools key regional and provincial stakeholder resources and expertise to integrate and/or strengthen palliative care in LTC homes across Ontario.
The project aims to:
- Improve resident quality of life
- Support families during the illness of their loved ones and during bereavement
- Provide team members with support and education
- Support LTC homes in their continuous improvement of palliative care
Explore the palliative care resource libraries below. Resources are organized according to the framework Long Term Success Tool (LTST), developed by Laura Lennox, which highlights twelve factors that increase the chances of achieving sustainability over time.
Long-Term Care Community of Practice (LTC CoP) for Physicians and Nurse Practitioners
The Long-Term Care Community of Practice (LTC CoP) connects physicians and nurse practitioners working in Ontario LTC homes to discuss real-world clinical challenges, share practical solutions, and learn from peers and researchers.
