Thanks to funding from the Commonwealth Fund, the Sunflower Foundation and the Kansas Department on Aging, Meadowlark Hills has worked with Action Pact, Inc. to create an integrated toolkit of materials and systems for use by long-term care providers (and others) with a stake in transforming the culture of long-term care in a sustainable fashion. The developers have generously given the toolkit to the Pioneer Network to distribute, with all proceeds going to further our unique mission as a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the culture change movement.

The toolkit has four major parts:
1) In Pursuit of the Sunbeam - A Practical Guide to Transform Institution to Home: A leadership book by Steve Shields & LaVrene Norton that assists providers by providing a change framework based on the Norton/Shields Change Matrix: Self, Leadership, Organizational and Environmental Transformation.

2) Daybreak - Creating Home: A set of policies and procedures shaped for household life.

3) Midday - Living & Working in Harmony: An integrated human resource system that reflects the values of the new model.

4) Evensong - Reflecting on Quality: A system of team-based continuous quality improvement.
Taken together, the toolkit’s components provide an explicit roadmap for how an organization can shape itself to become a resident-directed service model with a well trained, empowered, and satisfied workforce. It's really a one of a kind resource, and we are very excited at the prospect of reaching those decision-makers who can put these tools into practice and help us transform the world of long-term care.

The toolkit won't ship until August 1, but you can pre-order it HERE.
