A Strengths-Based Approach for Older Adults in LTCA Shift from the Medical Model to a Person-Centred Approach

By: Gillian Kirk, CTRS, MSRT Student

• Traditionally, the medical model has emphasized disabilities and diagnosis with the goal of care driven by the institution versus the individual.• The shift to person-centred care emphasizes the self-determination of older

people and partnership between the individual and the caregiver rather than the treatment of older people as objects of care (McCormack, 2003).• One of the most prevailing health concerns amongst LTC residents is depression

disorders and depressive symptoms (Jongenelis, Pot, Eisses, & Beekman, 2004).• Often attributed to loneliness, depression contributes to higher mortality rates

and decreases quality of life, well-being, and functioning (Beekman, Penninx, Deeg, de Beurs, Geerlings, & van Tilburg, 2002).• With a focus on deficits and discrepancies in viewpoints between staff and

residents, the medical model of care offers limited psycho-social resources to support the environment and the individual to “thrive.”

Depression rates among LTC residents, range from 6% to 26% for majordepression, from 11% to 50% for minor depression and from 30% to 48% fordepressive symptoms

(Jongenelis et al., 2004).

Individual Strengths

Environmental Strengths

Person-Centred

Approach

• Strengths are defined as a focus for development through recreation, leisure, and environment.• The ecological approach utilizes and adapts environmental

resources to support the individual to achieve their goals, dreams, and aspirations (Anderson & Heyne, 2012).• The model outlines the importance of facilitating real choices

for leisure, typical life rhythms, social supports, and inclusive and accessible environments. • Allows for resident’s individual strengths to be acknowledged

and utilized in health, well-being, and environmental decisions.• Acknowledges strengths and transforms the relationship

between staff and resident to include the resident as a team member.• Creates an environment within LTC that supports abilities and

facilitates growth enabling individuals to work towards their full potential.

Utilize an assessment that emphasizes exploring dreams, goals, and strengths of the residents and environment instead of problems, issues, deficits, and diagnosis (Anderson & Heyne, 2013).

Focus on a collaborative approach to gathering information from the resident, family, friends, and staff to holistically represent the individual.

Incorporate residents into individual and global decision making processes, such as goal setting, care plans, food, meal times, sleeping patterns, leisure, and more.

Support Residents’ Council meetings that provide residents with an opportunity to be informed, share ideas, and voice concerns regarding the improvement of the LTC facility.

Modify the environment to increase accessibility and functionality for residents..

Approaches to Care

6Be self-reflexive of personal viewpoints and perspectives, acknowledging that there are varying worldviews and values (example, individualistic vs collectivistic).

Abstract: Traditionally in LTC, the medical model has emphasized disabilities and diagnosis with the goal of care driven by the institution versus the individual. The shift to person-centered care “emphasizes the self-determination of older people and partnership between the individual and the caregiver rather than the treatment of older people as objects of care” (McCormack, 2003). Utilizing a strength-based approach allows the care team (including the Resident) to emphasize assets, focusing on potential over deficits. These concepts form the foundation of the Flourishing through Leisure Model: An Ecological Extension of the Leisure and Well-Being Model (Anderson & Heyne, 2012). Exploring and educating those working in LTC on the strengths-based approach supports the “shift” away from the medical model of care and improve the treatment of residents so they can continue to thrive and contribute to their environment.
