Current trends in long-term care, in concert with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Quality of Life guidelines, call for a shift in focus to person-centered care.  In this interactive symposium, participants will be introduced to preference-based, person-centered care using the Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory (PELI) and present evidence-based research supporting use of the PELI in long-term services and supports.  Participants will learn how to conduct PELI interviews with residents/clients using supportive communication strategies.  As a result of attending this session, participants will have a better understanding of the science as well as the practical use of the PELI.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the importance of preference and person-centered care in long-term care.
• Describe the PELI and its purpose.
• Understand the inclusion of preferences in current regulation.
• Initiate preference assessment in communities using the PELI.
