Making
the visible shift to resident-centred care
It has long been recognized that the kitchen is the heart of
any home, but for far too many elderly residents in
long-term care, comfort can be hard to come by in the
sterile dining halls and kitchens where their meals are
served.
In mid-December, Edmonton’s CapitalCare — Canada’s largest
public long-term care provider — took a grand step towards
bringing comfort back into its oldest kitchens and dining
rooms with the launch of a newly-renovated gathering space
at one of its homes.

pressure ulcer. . .
