    What is this Study about?

    You are invited to participate in a research study that will help us understand the current end-of-life (i.e., last months, weeks, or days) nutrition practices in long-term care (LTC) homes. Your perspective based on your experiences working in LTC can help us to develop educational resources for team members who support residents receiving palliative care at the end of their life. We hope this education will foster positive changes in attitudes and practices.

    Registered practical nurses
    Personal support workers
    Registered dietitians
    Family members and friends (care partners) of residents who have received palliative care in LTC homes
