OUR REALITY
America's nursing homes are broken.
The catastrophic deaths of nursing home residents and staff during COVID were the result of a failed long-term care system.
200,000+ dead.
OUR REALITY
We can't just "cancel" Nursing Homes.
America needs a new vision for what residential communities for elders and younger people living with disabilities can be.
i.
Family care partners are already at bandwidth. In 2020, there were 48 Million Americans caregiving for an adult.
ii.
The number of 85+ year-olds is expected to quadruple between 2000 and 2040. Everybody wants to "age in community," but as the demand for care outpaces the supply, home-based support becomes even less feasible than it is now.
iii.
Care communities are the only way to avoid a massive workforce shortage. Think about it: a care partner tending to three people is 200% more efficient than a home aide assigned to one.
