The Me & My Wishes program aims to improve long-term care provider and family caregiver understanding of daily and end-of-life care preferences of people living with dementia. Me & My Wishes creates videos of residents discussing their preferences. A care team member then shares the resident video during care plan meetings, and follows prompts to guide conversation about information that should be incorporated in the care plan. Findings suggest that sharing Me & My Wishes videos in nursing homes and assisted living communities: 1) facilitated conversations among people living with dementia, their families and staff about care preferences; and 2) improved documentation of conversations about resident care preferences – all essential to person-centered care.
