COVID-19 tragically revealed the systemic problems in our outdated, undignified, and often inhumane long-term care landscape. But as the pandemic fades into the rearview mirror, amid rising interest rates, investor skepticism of projects that serve lower-income populations, and low reimbursement rates, older adults today and tomorrow face the same bad options for care.

With the right combination of investors and philanthropic donations, however, forward-thinking organizations have made new settings a reality. Join leaders from The Green House Project — a non-profit organization dedicated to building small-home alternatives to traditional nursing homes — for an exploration of the ways that grants and other charitable funding streams have made the difference between the status quo and something better.

Leaders from Thome Rivertown, a groundbreaking complex in Detroit that offers both community-based and residential care services for older adults on Medicaid, will also share the story of how grants, fundraising, and other funding streams came together to create lasting change in the Motor City and beyond.
