Convergence Center for Policy Resolution Final Report: Recommendations from Dialogue on Reimagining Care for Older Adults

Convergence

The Convergence Center for Policy Resolution (Convergence) has released a new report with recommendations from its Dialogue on Reimagining Care for Older Adults.

The Convergence Dialogue on Reimagining Care for Older Adults final report offers consensus solutions to reimagine the care of older adults in a range of settings, including nursing homes. The solutions were produced by leaders and experts who participated from across the political spectrum in a multi-stage convening. The report proposes changes to America’s systems of care that reflect the unique needs and realities of aging adults today and in the future.

Recommendations from the report’s findings focus on three major areas for improvement:

  • Care Settings: Create a constellation of care settings with adaptable and viable business models, so that preferred options are available as people age.
  • Caregivers: Ensure there are enough qualified direct and family caregivers to provide
    needed care and support.
  • Funding: Adequately fund the system of care, with payment systems and other features that are aligned with the reality of aging.
