Transforming the hospital-style nursing home to a centre for living

Abstract

COVID-19 has put a spotlight on the senior living sector. Transformational change is needed to address the challenges of an institutional model of long-term care. This article makes recommendations applying the Systems Transformation domain of the LEADS leadership capabilities framework to change the way older persons experience the ageing journey by creating a small home model of living. A literature review reinforces the spotlight on the capital investment needed to reinvent the nursing home into a centre for living.
