Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative

A new three-year phase of the Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative, funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, will advance a national strategy to improve nursing home quality through nursing education and nationwide scaling of proven academic practice partnerships and age-friendly care initiatives.

The Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative will engage 1,500 nursing homes to advance nursing student placements and academic partnerships and will assist 500 nursing homes in achieving Age-Friendly Health Systems recognition.

We invite nursing home organizations, nursing schools, aging experts, and other interested parties to join the Collaborative, and promote strong partnerships, curricular and practice opportunities, dissemination of best practices, adoption of the 4Ms of Age Friendly practice for Nursing Homes, and the development of policy to the nursing workforce and ultimately the care of older adults in nursing homes.
