About
The Quality of Life Structured Resident Interview and Care Plan is a system for creating individualized, person-centered care plans in the nursing home. This interview-based approach to care planning generates the information staff need to tailor a resident's care plan to their preferences, as well as quantitative measurement of individual and facility-level outcomes.
