title: The art and science of a behavioural approach to care.
abstract: Behavioural psychology has much to offer residents, families and staff. Properly developed, a behavioural approach to care is at once humane, scientific and practical. In our experience, the dedication of resources and expertise to implementation of a behavioural approach to care has been truly beneficial for all concerned.
