Strengthening a Palliative Approach in Long-Term Care
Individuals in long-term care (LTC) who are reaching end-of-life have unique physical, emotional, social, psychological, and spiritual needs. A palliative approach to care ensures these needs are being met in a compassionate way that enhances the quality of life, limits suffering and provides needed comfort.
This podcast explores the palliative approach to long-term care through conversations with patients, health care professionals, family members, researchers and others who want to improve how we care for people in long-term care.

Strengthening a Palliative Approach in Long-Term Care
Creating a home in long-term care: a conversation with architects Neda Basharat and Tony Ross
How does architectural design impact the quality of life for residents in long-term care? And how does design influence a palliative approach to care? We spoke with two architects at Montgomery Sisam Architects who have a particular passion for thoughtful design in long-term care.
Neda Basharat has been focused on creating home-like environments for seniors within the long-term care sector for over a decade. Her recent work explores innovative models in long-term care, which supports and promotes autonomy for residents, as well as prioritizing both improved resident quality of life and staff wellness.
For almost two decades, Tony Ross has been focused on projects that create a home and provide care for the elderly. A large portion of this work has been supporting innovation in long-term care, working and learning with others to create buildings that pursue normal and the highest quality of life for residents.
