What are our Core Values as a Coalition? Feasibility, Equity, Sustainable Impact, and Collaboration - all driving forces behind our mission to improve nursing home quality. As we navigate the complexities of improving the quality of care for nursing home residents, these values guide every step we take: 1. Feasibility: We focus on turning our vision into practical, actionable change. By including a range of perspectives and backgrounds on each committee, we ensure that our efforts translate into tangible improvements that benefit nursing home residents. 2. Equity: We are dedicated to fostering changes that increase equity in nursing home care. Recognizing the disparities that exist, we strive to include lived experiences even in the more technical initiatives so that all residents benefit. Equity is not just a goal but a fundamental principle that shapes our initiatives. 3. Sustainable Impact: Our commitment extends beyond immediate changes. We are working to identify and test initiatives that ultimately lead to lasting impact and withstand the test of time. 4. Collaboration: Change is a collective effort - most notably the perspectives of nursing home residents, their family members, care partners, providers, care workers, and a range of experts in the #longtermcare industry. Our collaborative spirit has been the catalyst for building a coalition that maintains a focus on identifying transformative change. Everyone deserves to age with dignity and quality care. 🌟 Join us in putting residents first: https://lnkd.in/eHQc-sYR Together, we can build a sustainable network that not only drives change now but continues to make a difference for generations to come. #MovingForward #NursingHomeQuality #CoreValues #Feasibility #Equity #SustainableImpact #Collaboration #EmpoweringChange #ChangeLeadership #SeniorLiving #ElderCare #LongTermCare

How can we make visiting grandma or grandpa easier? When a nursing home closes or consolidates, families often bear the burden of increased travel times to new facilities. To help families see to their loved ones, nursing homes can: 🔹 Leverage transportation options. Have an extra van or two used for resident transport? Consider offering a shuttle from a central location for patients’ families. 🔹 Help residents and families set up Zoom accounts so they can communicate more often or make sure staff is trained in helping residents use technology. In the event of a closure or consolidation, there are steps nursing homes can take to improve the experience for families keeping in touch with their elderly loved ones. #NursingHomes #ElderCare #Zoom #Transportation #Healthcare
