As part of the training, staff completed two homework assignments: (1) defining what constitutes a good death for residents with dementia, and (2) identifying one resident and at least one action to address EOL care needs. Responses were analyzed using hybrid deductive-inductive thematic analysis. A priori codes were based on the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual domains of PC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-two homework assignments were analyzed.
