Description of the Intervention Function-Focused Care for Cognitively Impaired (FFC-CI).

Component	Description of the Intervention
Component I: environmental and policy assessments	The facility champion and the research nurse evaluated the environment and policy/procedures using Environment and Policy/Procedures for Function and Physical Activity Evaluation Forms. 8 Interventions were then recommended to alter the environment or revise policies and procedures to optimize function and physical activity.
Component II: education	Education of nursing staff, other members of the interdisciplinary team (eg, social work and physical therapy), and families about function-focused care was done by the research nurse
Component III: establishing FFC goals	The research nurse and facility champion completed Physical Capability Assessments and Goal Attainment Forms with each resident. Goals were established based on capability assessments, communication with other members of the team and input from residents, and made accessible to staff to be used during care interactions.
Component IV: mentoring and motivating	The research nurse worked with the facility champion to motivate all caregivers to provide function-focused care by (1) observing care interactions and providing positive and constructive feedback to staff; (2) reinforcing benefits of function-focused care for residents and staff; (3) highlighting role models (other caregivers who successfully provide FFC); and (4) helping to implement motivational techniques for residents to facilitate their willingness to engage in function and physical activity.
