My research focuses on the complex relationship between context (macro, meso, and micro-level context/environment) and quality of care, staff’s quality of work life, and the success of implementation and improvement initiatives in long-term care (LTC) homes. My work is dedicated to improving the lives of both residents and staff in LTC homes by fostering nurturing, person-centered communities through translating research evidence into real-world practices. I specialize in quantitative methods using advanced statistical models, and in mixed-methods approaches that integrate quantitative, qualitative, and configurational methods to address complex questions in health services and implementation research within the LTC sector.
