7. Project Narrative
To improve the quality of life for residents of VA Community Living Centers (CLCs), culture change
was initiated in 2005, aimed at making CLCs more resident-centered and homelike. This pilot project
is designed to lay the groundwork for a systematic evaluation of the CLC culture change effort. The
aims are (1) to access existing databases and to assess the quality and utility of their data for an
evaluation of CLC culture change, and (2) to identify measurement gaps in undertaking such an
evaluation and to explore measures and procedures to address these gaps. Systematic evaluation of
the culture change occurring in VA CLCs could enhance efforts to improve veterans' care and quality
of life and could provide guidance on effective models of long-term care for the wider community.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
