Podcast Overview

Fixing U.S. nursing homes can often seem like an impossible task. Elders, families, caregivers, advocates, lawmakers, researchers, and even providers generally agree that our system is broken, but little has changed about long-term care since the emergence of nursing homes as the dominant model of eldercare in the 1960s. Mission Possible will break through the barriers to change and present concrete ideas on how to improve eldercare services in the U.S. and around the world. Guided by a 2022 NASEM report on the state of nursing care, this podcast will build bridges between theory and practice, incorporating the voices of influential people from all facets of the sector – including clinical leaders, outspoken advocates, residents, caregivers, and investors. Changing the status quo won't happen overnight, but it's far from impossible. Listen in to find out why improving the lives of elders is truly a Mission Possible. Mission Possible is a joint production of The Center for Innovation (The Green House Project/Pioneer Network), the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, and AMDA.

Paying for Change in LTC

As editor-at-large at Irving Levin Associates, a leading source of news and research into the business of long-term care, Steve Monroe has unique insight into what makes providers want to spend money on something new – and what doesn’t. In a sector where new regulations grab the biggest headlines, there’s just as much – if not more – change to be made by changing funding sources. Monroe joins Alex Spanko for this frank discussion on the financial mechanisms that the government can use to create lasting change in nursing homes and other eldercare settings, as well as the state of an industry often characterized as shadowy and opaque by its critics.

Creating a Community of Care Where Elders Already Live

This week on “Mission Possible,” we step back from the U.S. to explore a unique model from the Netherlands. Thijs de Blok, CEO of Buurtzorg International, joins Anne Montgomery to discuss his organization’s mission to bring care directly to Dutch elders through a network of self-managed care teams. Based on the belief that people thrive in their own communities, Buurtzorg relies on nearly 900 teams of nurses to provide direct care in elders’ homes – all without managers, and all consisting of no more than 12 individual members. The idea, according to de Blok, is to provide a seamless combination of formal and informal supports that empower elders to stay connected to the people and activities they love, in the places they’ve always called home. Tune in to learn more about this incredibly successful alternative to traditional communal care, and how the Buurtzorg principles could be adapted to work in the home, the community, and even new types of forward-thinking care communities.

What Residents Want from Nursing Home Reform

Far too often, nursing home reform investigations and reports exclude input from the very people impacted the most by their conclusions: nursing home residents themselves. On this week’s episode of “Mission Possible,” we pass the mic over to Washington, D.C.-area writer, advocate, and nursing home resident Maurice Miller to learn what he really wants to see from providers, lawmakers, and caregivers as we work to improve the system. Maurice brings a unique perspective to the “Mission Possible” conversation, and not just because he’s a resident in a dialogue that consists primarily of operators, regulators, politicians, and lawyers – but also because as someone who’s lived in a nursing home since suffering a stroke in his late 40s, he’s still the self-described baby of his community more than a decade later. The long-term care landscape has much to learn from residents like Maurice, so tune in and then find ways to incorporate his words into your own LTC advocacy.
