Palliative Essentials in LTC: Conversations — Aligning Care with What Matters
Connecting with residents is key to understanding who they are, what matters most to their quality of life, and how care can align with their values and preferences. This ECHO session focuses on goals of care conversations as a way to understand each resident as a unique person, support their understanding of their health, and explore care options. It also highlights how discussing expected changes can help residents and care partners prepare for what lies ahead, including preferences for where care is provided and reassurance that long-term care teams can support end-of-life care when needed.
Presenters:
Jennifer Walker, Palliative Care Physician, Lions Gate Hospital and North Shore Hospice; Coastal Medical Lead for LTC (North Shore)
Monica Kelly, MSW, RSW Lead, Goals of Care Support Team, VCH
