Resident-Centered Care as Organizational
Culture Change:
• RCC is about engaging the hearts and minds of
those one works with and cares for
• It is about a collective commitment to a set of
beliefs about:
- the way residents will be cared for
- how family will be treated
RCC Culture Shift Cont’d:
-how leadership will support staff
-how staff will nurture each other and themselves
• Resident centeredness is not a check list, a
dashboard or an action plan. It is a cultural
transformation
• RCC requires buy-in and engagement from ALL levels
of an organization
RCC Culture Change Cont’d:
• It requires a long term commitment and a
willingness to consistently challenge the
“that’s the way we’ve always don it” mentality
• The true test of a culture of RCC is its
sustainability and its ability to endure even in
the face of staffing shortages, funding issues,
demanding families and leadership turnover
Board Engagement:
• Board commitment positions leadership to
actively involve staff in initiating and
sustaining the RCC model
• There needs to be an understanding that the
move towards RCC takes time
• Regular progress updates are necessary for
members to be aware of the progress being
made
Board Engagement Cont’d:
• Directors can participate in rounding efforts
when able
• Directors must provide feedback to staff,
Residents and family members regarding the
achievements made and practices that have
been implemented at regular intervals
