The Convergence Center for Policy Resolution has released a supplement report to their previous report titled "Rethinking Care for Older Adults."

In December 2020, the Convergence Center for Policy Resolution published a report summarizing a series of “brainstorming” conversations among experts on aging and caregiving for older adults. The conversations generated ideas for expanding opportunities for home and community-based care, advancing alternative business models in the institutional sector, and transforming the caregiving workforce.

Many of the ideas in the report would require legislation or changes in business practice. But others could be advanced at least in part by administrative or regulatory actions at the federal, state, or local level. To further develop some of these latter ideas, Convergence invited experts from the original conversations, and some other experts, to flesh out their ideas and produced this new supplement report.

The supplement report is organized into three sections:

  • Section 1: Ideas for Administrative Actions to Make It Easier to Age at Home
  • Section 2: Ideas for Administrative Actions to Strengthen and Increase the Range of Nursing Facilities
  • Section 3: Ideas for Administrative Actions to Strengthen and Increase the Caregiving Workforce

The supplement report and the December 2020 report were made possible by support from The John A. Hartford Foundation.
