Care Plans with Purpose: Prioritizing Well-Being

from Shaping The Future of Aging- The Eden Alternative Podcast · host theedenalternative

Have you ever noticed that plans of care are often written with clinical, deficit-based language and that when you have to read it to the individual, you choose to just summarize it?

That was the inspiration for Ruth Minnema to revamp how plans of care are written and bring well-being to the forefront of the process.
