WHO SHOULD CONDUCT THE INTERVIEWS?

Interviews should always be conducted in-person with residents. This enables a range of cognitively and physically impaired residents to participate. In-person interviews also provide an opportunity to clarify questions, which can lead to more accurate responses.

Because most daily care is provided by certified nursing assistants, a different staff member should conduct the interviews so that residents feel sure their reports are confidential. Ideally, a social worker or licensed nurse should conduct the interviews.
