Revisiting the Teaching Nursing Home was designed to pair Pennsylvania nursing homes with area schools of nursing, introducing up-and-coming nurses to careers in eldercare while also infusing age-friendly care practices into the communities’ operations.
But according to Nancy Zionts, the primary investigator on the project – as well as the chief operating officer and chief program officer at the Pittsburgh-based Jewish Healthcare Foundation – the program went beyond the clinical, bringing an energy and enthusiasm to the participating nursing homes that had been sorely lacking during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Zionts joins the podcast to discuss the program’s successes, its future expansion plans, and the ongoing benefits of collaborations between students and professionals in geriatrics.
