I have read both of these articles and I am very excited with what the authors have to say. I am looking for others that are interested in having a Palliative care program in their facililty. I have been in long term care over 30 years and always felt our Residents would benefit greatly with a formal palliative care program. The possiblity of payment for these services is long over due. Again great articles.
