In later life, these issues profoundly impact individuals' morbidity and lifespan. Further, it has been evidenced that the Centers for Medicare \u0026amp; Medicaid Services' five-star rating system that provides long-term care facilities’ quality information to the public does not fully represent what matters to the residents from their perspectives. Resident satisfaction is an integral part of the quality of care; instead of clinical quality measures only, it is influenced by residents, their family members, staff, and administration. Person-centered care not only requires a 'culture change' in how residents and caregivers work together, but it also requires facilities to ensure staff deliver care with the highest possible level of empathy and adopt meaningful care practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eAmong the topics covered in this contributed volume: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eAre Quality of Care and Quality of Life Synonymous in Long-Term Care?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eAging-in-Place or Long-Term Care?
