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

🌟 DEADLINE REMINDER to state leaders... Applications for State Nursing Home Policy Academy are DUE TODAY! 🌟 The NASHP | National Academy for State Health Policy launched a State Nursing Home Policy Academy, which will provide technical assistance to three teams of state leaders to take on nursing home quality, payment and engagement with residents, families, and the federal government. "Through peer-to-peer learning and access to nursing home policy expertise, states can accelerate measurable progress on policies that will address the complex and multi-faceted challenges facing nursing homes across the country." Great #opportunity !!! In fact, the Coalition has been excited to support the Academy with resources and insights developed and aggregated by our committees on a number of topics – including #workforce retention and #compensation improvement, licensing and ownership oversight, and nursing home physical plant transformation. Good luck to all who apply! https://lnkd.in/eFJ4f4Cx #movingforward #nursinghomes #longtermcare #eldercare #thoughtleadership #changeforgood #policy

Beyond the Brochure: Evaluating a Nursing Home's Commitment to Care When seeking long-term care, it's essential to question whether a nursing home truly has the applicant's best interests at heart. While many facilities prioritize resident care and well-being, others may focus more on filling beds and generating revenue. Red flags include: - Pressure to sign admission contracts quickly - Lack of transparency about services and fees - Limited flexibility in care plans - Overemphasis on financial assets Conversely, facilities with a genuine interest in residents' well-being will: - Offer personalized care plans - Encourage family involvement - Provide clear and detailed information - Prioritize resident comfort and dignity When touring facilities, pay attention to staff attitudes, resident interactions, and the overall atmosphere. Ask questions and advocate for yourself or your loved one. Remember, a nursing home should prioritize care, not profits.

While both nursing homes and assisted living provide support and care for seniors, why are assisted living facilities more desirable for elders and their families? Ultimately, the choice between assisted living and nursing homes depends on the individual's health condition, preferences, and the level of care needed. However, if you need more independence and enjoy social interaction, assisted living is often the better option.

🌟 Let's Pop Our Nursing Bubble and Reach Out to Others! 🌟 As Judith Shamian puts it, let's break free from our nursing bubble and embrace the power of mixing art and science to build effective strategies. Nursing is not just about the technicalities; it's about reaching out, connecting, and making a difference beyond our immediate sphere. Florence Nightingale's words resonate deeply: "Unless we are making progress in our nursing every year, every month, every week, take my word for it, we are going back." Progress isn't just a concept—it's a necessity. It's about constantly evolving, learning, and pushing boundaries. So, dear colleagues, let's reflect on our roles, embrace change, and strive for excellence. Together, we can shape a brighter future for nursing and healthcare. #InnovationInHealthcare #Leadership #Inspiration #Progress #Courage #MahatmaGandhi #FlorenceNightingale #ESNO2024 #thisisWhatNurselookslike
