Moving Forward Pilot Study

The Moving Forward Nursing Home Coalition is an organization that brings leaders, stakeholders, and experts together to advance practical solutions to long-standing nursing home quality issues. The Center on Aging led efforts within the coalition to advance individualized care planning for residents living in nursing homes.

One of the top 10 citations on nursing home surveys is F-tag: F656 – Comprehensive Care Plans. That suggests that many nursing homes lack the bandwidth or resources to address residents’ full set of goals, preferences, and priorities (or GPPs). The Moving Forward Coalition's guide offers accessible, easy-to-use strategies and steps to talk to residents about what matters to them and then translate that to care. The KSU Center on Aging is piloting the guide with a small number of nursing homes in Kansas. For questions about this project, contact Addie VanZutphen or Laci Cornelison.
