Culture change is a "buzzword" that is used to describe many attempts to improve quality of life of nursing home residents. It may be defined as "transformation to person-directed care that restores control to elders and those who work closest with them." In person-directed care "residents truly direct their own care and make their own choices about how they spend their time. Staff members are highly involved in decisions that are relevant to their jobs and the people they care for. The residents, their families, and the workers are a part of a thriving, interdependent community."
