Promoting Positive Care Interactions (PPCI) in Assisted Living
Optimizing Daily Care Interactions Between Staff and Assisted Living Residents With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The overall aim of this study is to pilot test Promoting Positive Care Interactions (PPCI) with the goal of establishing a feasible and culturally responsive approach to optimize care interactions between staff (nursing, activity, housekeeping, and dining service staff) and residents with ADRD in assisted living facilities (ALFs), and further improve select resident, staff, and facility outcomes. PPCI is a non- pharmacological four-step approach consisting of (1) stakeholder engagement in developing facility specific goals; (2) environment and policy assessments; (3) flexible staff education; and (4) ongoing mentorship, motivation, and support (in-person visits and text messages) for staff to optimize care interactions.
