Illinois Pioneer Coalition
The Person-Directed Advocacy Organization for Illinois
Changing the Culture of Long-Term Care
Culture change is a national movement to transform the way we think about and provide care to people, whether they are living independently, in an assisted living community or in a nursing home. The care people receive should be person-directed and there are many accepted practices that foster this.
The Illinois Pioneer Coalition advocates for deep system change in long-term care by creating opportunities for communication, networking and learning to facilitate the changing of this culture in Illinois. We do this by providing educational opportunities annually at our Summit and ongoing throughout Regional Coalitions.
