More than 30% of residents who live in LTC homes die each year and this number will continue to grow as the LTC population ages. How residents are cared for in LTC lacks clarity and definition due to the absence of a formalized palliative care (PC) program. The Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) has funded a Community University Research Alliance (CURA) project titled “Improving the quality of life of people dying in long term care.” The purpose is to engage residents, families and staff in creating a palliative culture in LTC homes.
