Aims And Objectives: To provide an overview and synthesis of the current evidence on healthcare aides' involvement in team decision-making in long-term care.
Background: Healthcare aides provide the most direct care to residents in long-term care homes and are uniquely positioned to influence the quality of care. Yet, they are not typically included in team decisions for improving resident care.
Interprofessional care teams can play a key role in supporting older adults (and caregivers) in making informed health decisions, yet shared decision making is not widely practiced in home care. Based on an earlier needs assessment with older adults (and caregivers) with home care experience, we aimed to explore the perceptions of home care teams on the decisions facing their clients and their perceived involvement in shared decision making. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 614 home care providers (nurses, personal support workers, rehabilitation professionals) in three Canadian provinces (Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta).

- The review examines the health and social care needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCC), their caregivers, and healthcare providers, focusing on community-dwelling individuals aged 55 and older.
- A scoping review was conducted, analyzing data from 36 studies to identify key areas of need, including information access, service coordination, and training for better management of complex conditions.
- The findings reveal that educational level and socioeconomic status significantly impact the needs of older adults, with a critical emphasis on improving information access and care coordination.
