A #PalliativeApproach isn't only about the final days. It's about integrating comfort, planning, and conversations from the time a person moves into #LongTermCare.

Take a moment to reflect:
How can I provide a palliative approach in my role?
Where do I want to build more confidence?

#LongTermCare teams can be a bridge connecting residents and families to community #Grief and #Bereavement supports.

Goals of care conversations start with everyday moments.

Conversations with residents & families about what matters most to them help guide decision-making in #LongTermCare.

Take a moment to reflect: What are the times when a resident would benefit from a #GoalsOfCare conversation?

In #LongTermCare, declining health is expected. Proactive #CarePlanning helps prepare residents and families for changes, ensuring care reflects their values and preferences.

Now reflect: How can I support residents to live well today while also planning ahead?
