CARE Connections: Fostering Relationships in Long Term Care

What is the difference between the medical model of care and person-centered care?

Read how SoN research is helping address resident and family needs and preferences for care in the April 2026 issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:

“Relationships are considered the fundamental building block to person-centered care, but that’s not well defined,” says Roberts. “What is a close relationship? How do you foster them?”

This month’s CARE Connections also includes a profile of CARE Affiliate Barbara Bowers, PhD, RN, FAAN; an English / Spanish bilingual CARE U workshop for direct care staff; and news and events related to older adult health and well-being.
