Infection Control Advocate and Resident Education (ICARE)
The ICARE program aims to educate, engage, and empower people to promote and practice infection prevention and control, respecting the rights and roles of residents and their advocates for the delivery of quality care.
The objectives of the ICARE program are:

- Develop and implement infection prevention and control practices that engage and empower nursing home community members (residents, families, and staff).
- Build partnerships among nursing home community members to improve quality care.
