Action to Improve Nursing Home Quality

Grant Summary

The past two years have exacerbated and laid bare many longstanding needs in nursing home care and have spurred the nation to action. With major sponsorship from The John A. Hartford Foundation, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released much-anticipated recommendations in The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality, which underscore the need for critical changes to the way America finances, delivers and regulates care in nursing homes. In this grant, LeadingAge, an association of non-profit aging service providers, will convene and lead an expert panel and stakeholder coalition to identify the most actionable recommendations and make them a reality, create an effective communications strategy, and evaluate plan implementation.
