Abstract:
Age-Friendly Health Systems is a movement to ensure that all care and support for and with older adults across all settings is age-friendly care. Age-Friendly Health Systems provide staff, leadership, and care partner education based on the 4M Framework (What Matters, Medications, Mentation, Mobility). Nursing homes and other settings are often left out of local, state, or federal strategic plans on aging. In addition, limited quality and quantity of nursing home staff impact new program implementation. We consider how programs and services to support older adults can create and sustain an Age-Friendly Ecosystem, including a meaningful role for nursing homes.
