Abstract Persons with dementia living in long-term care settings have been especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and their family caregivers have had to cope with numerous additional stressors during this time. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews and gathered open-ended survey data from N=104 caregivers participating in an ongoing intervention trial at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Open-ended questions explored the difficulties caregivers have experienced in caring for and supporting a relative in long-term residential care. Caregivers provided their perspectives about services and supports that have facilitated coping with uncertainty, anxiety, and loss during the pandemic, and identified resources and strengths they have found helpful in caring for their relatives. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes reflecting the key challenges and supports that have emerged for caregivers, and to highlight caregivers' recommendations for promoting their and their relatives' well-being during this crisis.

In order to best meet the needs of older residents in long-term care settings, clinicians often develop programs designed to streamline and improve care. However, many individuals are reluctant to embrace change. This article will discuss strategies that the speech-language pathologist (SLP) can use to assess and address the source of resistance to new programs and thereby facilitate optimal outcomes.

Change Policy

The organizational structure of long-term care (LTC) facilities often removes the rehab department from the interdisciplinary work culture, inhibiting the speech-language pathologist's (SLP's) communication with the facility administration and limiting the SLP's influence when implementing clinical programs. The SLP then is unable to change policy or monitor the actions of the care staff. When the SLP asks staff members to follow protocols not yet accepted by facility policy, staff may be unable to respond due to confusing or conflicting protocol. The SLP needs to involve members of the facility administration in the policy-making process in order to create successful clinical programs. The SLP must overcome communication barriers by understanding the needs of the administration to explain how staff compliance with clinical goals improves quality of care, regulatory compliance, and patient-family satisfaction, and has the potential to enhance revenue for the facility. By taking this approach, the SLP has a greater opportunity to increase safety, independence, and quality of life for patients who otherwise may not receive access to the appropriate services.
