- Collaborative Needs Assessment and Responsemethodology: collaborative needs assessmentBy collaborating with certified home health agencies and community partners, we identify current health care needs and co-develop research and education initiatives to improve access and equity in home care services, because shared expertise and local knowledge lead to more responsive and effective interventions.
- Culturally Affirming and Competent Caremethodology: culturally competent careBy training caregivers in cultural competence and partnering to create inclusive environments, we improve care experiences and outcomes for marginalized older adults—including LGBTQIA+ and racially diverse populations—because care that respects identity and cultural context increases trust and engagement.
- Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programmingmethodology: evidence-based falls preventionBy implementing group exercise programs and promoting safety culture, we reduce falls and fall-related injuries among older adults, because structured, community-delivered interventions grounded in clinical evidence improve physical resilience and environmental awareness.
- Research-to-Practice for Service Improvementmethodology: research-to-practiceBy conducting independent research and translating findings into education and training, we improve home care practices and services for at-risk populations, because evidence-informed changes in practice lead to better client outcomes and greater system accountability.
- Workforce Development Through Education and Mentorshipmethodology: workforce development through education grantsBy funding education grants and mentorship for home care employees, we address workforce shortages and lack of diversity, because investing in career advancement increases retention, improves quality of care, and promotes equity in the sector.
