They meet every month and member participants include the trade associations, the survey and certification agency, the QIO, LTC Ombudsman, care givers association to name a few. The group was developed out of the St. Louis Accord and pledges by 2008 to share the vision for those who provide and receive care within the LTC continuum.
Its Vision Statement is: Creating philosophies, practices and environments within the long term care continuum, that renew the spirit for living through opportunities for relationships, compassion, hospitality and empowered choices.

In order to build momentum for Coalition activities, we recruited volunteers to serve on three work groups: Regulatory, Definitions/Application and Interventions. We were thrilled with the response as sixty-seven people expressed interest in serving in some capacity.
The Regulatory work group was tasked with reviewing state administrative rules to identify potential barriers to person directed care environments. The Definitions/Applications work group is developing a common word list to be used so we all talk the same culture change/person directed care language.
The Interventions work group split into three sub groups to work on care practices, environmental practices and workplace practices (the HATch model).
Three coalition members attended the Pioneer Network Conference in Philadelphia and brought back tools, materials and ideas to share with the membership.
