Quality Palliative Care in Long Term Care: A Community-University Research Alliance

The Quality Palliative Care in Long Term Care Alliance is comprised of 38 organizational partners and 27 researchers who will actively contribute their expertise to a five-year comparative case study research project, Improving Quality of Life for People Dying in Long Term Care Homes. The primary goal of the research is to create a community-university research alliance that will develop sustainable, person-focused care palliative care programs using a capacity development process which is consistent with the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association's Square of Care.
