DCM mapping alongside the DCM trained nurses/care staff at each site for six

Well/Ill-being (WIB) score was calculated for each participating resident at each of
the five sites. Using factors that were observed to stimulate well being and/or ill-being

maintain the recommended resident care plan strategies over the following four
