The Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative (TNHC) is a three-year initiative funded by the Jewish Healthcare Foundation’s Health Careers Futures, The John A. Hartford Foundation, and the Independence Foundation. The Collaborative is an extension of the “Revisiting the Teaching Nursing Home” pilot project (2021-2023), which established partnerships among three schools of nursing and four nursing homes across Pennsylvania to enrich student experiences through clinical rotations in nursing homes and to support the implementation of the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms framework. Building on this work, the Collaborative will scale across the state - and engage additional states - to all nursing homes and schools of nursing who have a shared commitment to improving clinical outcomes for nursing home residents, enriching nursing education, and supporting the nursing home workforce. By joining the Collaborative, nursing homes and schools will work to strengthen their partnerships, improve nursing students’ exposure to nursing homes, and support nursing home staff in implementing the 4Ms.
