It makes sense that in order to provide quality care in nursing homes the physical design of the facility as well as the programming/philosophies of care can help enhance the provision of such care i.e palliative care/best friends approach in dementia patients. what are people doing in Oregon? I'm intersted in becoming part of a facility/nursing home that is looking at these issues.

There is a nursing home in Columbus, Ohio called Westminster-Thurber Community that is using a program called the Eden Alternative. It is a philosophy of living that fosters a home environment in long-term care and assisted living facilities. You might try to Google the Eden Alternative. I'm sure there are lots of resources on-line. The number for the facility is: 614-228-8888.
