The randomized controlled trial (RCT) indicated that a substantial proportion of the total variance of the effects was related to conditions in the particular unit (ward). […]

We hypothesized that a person-centered environment (PCE) would achieve similar outcomes by focusing on positive environmental stimuli, and that there would be enhanced outcomes by combining PCC and PCE. Methods: 38 Australian residential aged care homes with scope […]
