Professional Partners Supporting Family Caregiving - Phase II

Grant Summary

The Foundation has funded a second phase of the Professional Partners Supporting Family Caregiving project, aimed at improving nursing and social work expertise in supporting families caring for older adults. The project, led by the AARP Foundation, will move the foundational work completed in Phase I into practice, guided by the priorities established in the first phase and by the recommendations of a national steering group representing leading social work, nursing, family caregiving, and policy experts. The four key activities of the project are to (1) prototype best practices and raise awareness within a 20-state, U.S. Administration on Aging-funded network in preparation for federal expansion; (2) embed competencies into professional practice standards; (3) inform the development of policies that support family caregiving; and (4) raise consumer expectations and drive demand for changes in practice and policy through AARP consumer outreach and communications.
