Area of Science:

Gerontology
Healthcare Management
Nursing

Background:

Global age-friendly initiatives often overlook nursing home residents.
The existing
4 Ms
age-friendly health system model lacks specificity for nursing home settings.
Nursing homes require tailored frameworks to address unique resident and staff needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify specific aspects of person-centered care within nursing homes.
To propose a standardized conceptual framework for age-friendly nursing homes.
To introduce an expanded
8 Ms
framework for age-friendly nursing home care.

Main Methods:

Literature review to identify key components of person-centered care in nursing homes.
Development of a new conceptual framework based on existing models and identified components.
Incorporation of resident, staff, and administrator perspectives.

Main Results:

The traditional
4 Ms
(medication, mobility, mentation, and matters) is insufficient for nursing homes.
A new
8 Ms
framework is proposed, adding meaningful care, motivation, moderation, modification, and monitoring.
This framework integrates resident-centered care with operational aspects of nursing homes.

Conclusions:

The proposed
8 Ms
framework offers a comprehensive approach to age-friendly nursing home care.
Implementation can enhance resident quality of care, caregiver job satisfaction, and facility management.
This framework can guide education, training, clinical practice, research, and advocacy in nursing homes.
