Implementing and sustaining evidence-based practices in long-term care.

Delirium, Dementia and Depression and Responsive Behaviours

The following resource is designed to assist Long-Term Care (LTC) homes with the implementation of ResponsiveBehaviours and Delirium, Dementia and Depression Best Practice Guidelines:

  • Screening for Delirium, Dementia and Depression in the Older Adult
  • Caregiving Strategies for Older Adults with Delirium, Dementia and Depression
  • Assessment and Care of Adults at Risk for Suicidal Ideation and Behaviour

Documents found in this resource are evidence-based, but it is not a program plan. Each LTC home is unique and each home is in various stages of guideline implementation. LTC homes are advised to use the resource at their discretion. For those resources that have copyright notations, it is recommended that LTC homes obtain permission from the primary author prior to implementing them within their setting. The Toolkit is a dynamic resource, and is being updated and revised on a regular basis by the LTC Best Practices Program team. Visit this site often to see what's new!
