Are you ready to elevate resident voices? Join Kansas State University and the Moving Forward Coalition in piloting an innovative guidebook that prepares nursing home teams to better honor residents’ Goals, Preferences, and Priorities (GPP). After a successful launch in phase one, we’re ready for phase two beginning in October 2025 and seeking dedicated teams that are ready to make a difference!
Your team might be a good fit for this pilot project if…
- You have a motivated team that is committed to furthering your person-centered care journey.
- You have strong leadership in the home that values elevating the resident’s voice in all aspects of their daily lives
- You are ready to invest time upfront for long-term sustainable improvements to your current systems
- Your team enjoys collaborative work
- You are able to commit to monthly meetings via Zoom to check-in with the program coordinator
- You are excited to be part of research that will improve care in nursing homes nationwide
What does this look like for you?
We’ve designed this pilot to work with your existing systems. Starting in October, you’ll partner with our Program Coordinator through monthly Zoom meetings alongside other homes in the pilot. You’ll receive two one-hour long trainings about important matters that can often be overlooked in long-term care.
Your team leads the way: identify improvement areas that matter to your team, create and work through action plans, and implement changes that fit your home’s unique needs. You’ll also gain access to proven tools and assessment examples from phase one participants.
Your team will work together to create a reasonable timeline for your action plans early on in the program. Implementation of new systems should start in January.
