Convergence Dialogue on Reimagining Care for Older Adults

Grant Summary

This 15-month project will assess the perspectives, values and vision of key and diverse stakeholders, develop areas of agreement and create an implementation and dissemination plan for public support of consensus-based recommendations to reimagine the care of older adults in nursing homes and the range of settings they call home. This project follows a December 2020 Convergence Center report funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation exploring options and opportunities for change. The SCAN Foundation co-funds this project.
