This book explores key factors long-term care recipients have identified as impacting their quality of life and offers programmatic and policy recommendations to enhance well-being within long-term care communities. Leadership and staff who work in nursing homes and other residential care communities serve as gatekeepers to resident well-being, often without recognizing how residents' quality of life is impacted by their decision-making. This book takes a life domain approach to build on research-based studies that document key drivers of care recipients' quality of life, including relationships, autonomy and respect, activities and meals, environment, and care. Using a framework that enhances understanding of resident quality of life, it outlines practical, programmatic, and policy suggestions for long-term care stakeholders, such as administrators, managers, front-line staff, family members, and policy-makers, whose directives and actions impact the lived experience of long-term care residents. As such, this book serves as a roadmap for leaders and managers of long-term care communities, along with policymakers who regulate health and human services, to best structure care environments to maximize quality of life and well-being for long-term care recipients. 

Jennifer Johs-Artisensi is Professor and the Academic Program Director for the Health Care Administration Program at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and Director of the National Emerging Leadership Summit. She has a master's degree in public health and a Ph.D. in health psychology and behavioral medicine. She has worked as both a practitioner and a consultant in settings across the care continuum. Her research interests include resident-focused care, 'culture change' and quality of life in long-term care, health care policy, health and long-term care management, health care administration education, and leadership development. In the USA, she has served the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB), as Education and Continuing Education Committee Chairs for several years, and currently as Secretary of the NAB Executive Committee.  She developed an online preceptor training course for NAB, which is used nationwide.  She has earned several honors for both her research and service in long-term care, including several Distinguished and Best Paper awards for research on developing educational models to best prepare future long-term care administrators and delivering quality care. She has also received the Leon Brachman Award for Community Service, and faculty awards for excellence in service-learning, creativity and innovation, and outstanding teaching.
