This summary document (16 pages, in French) offers recommendations on harmonizing care settings and the living environments in Quebec’s long-term care centres (CHSLDs). It summarizes the key findings of an INESSS report published in September 2020 entitled Conciliation du milieu de soins et du milieu de vie en CHSLD.The role of caregivers in achieving this balance is also discussed.
The recommendations are based on a literature review along with input from key stakeholders. The document is intended for policymakers, CHSLD managers responsible for care and service coordination, and living environment and nursing advisors seeking to implement practices that reconcile the clinical, medical and procedural aspects of care settings with the personal, social and emotional environments of long-term care centres.
