Since the issuance on June 12, 2009 of the revisions to the CMS Interpretive Guidelines, providers have indicated interest in tools and resources for nursing homes to operationalize the guidelines which are all about resident Quality of Life, Person-Centered Care and a Home Environment. Pioneer Network heard this need, and is proud to introduce
Promising Practices.
Promising Practices in Dining is our first topic, with Promising Practices in Home and the Environment expected next. We have incorporated and highlighted promising practices from a broad range of nursing homes and care settings to create this easy-to-use resource to enhance the quality of life for our nation's elders and those who care for and about them.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the 10th National Pioneer Network Conference in Indianapolis. From our first session the This I Believe workshop on Sunday to our closing with Karen Schoeneman making it rain and reminding us to be like water to get the work done!
We had an energizing, educational and inspiring few days together. We met a lot of like-minded individuals from all over the map and we caught up with old friends – some of which we only see once a year at this conference. Now it is back to the reality of getting to work. We encourage you to hold a session with all of your team reviewing what you learned, hold learning circles about the ideas that you have generated and bring back some of the enthusiasm that we all felt walking the halls of the Indianapolis Marriott back to the halls where you work and your elders live.
About Pioneer NetworkPioneer Network is dedicated to making fundamental changes in values and practices to create a culture of aging that is life-affirming, satisfying, humane and meaningful. Pioneer Network advocates for
culture change in eldercare models from long-term nursing home care to short-term transitional care to community-based care to create homes that are consumer-driven and person-directed.
To advance these goals, Pioneer Network
supports public policy changes;
collaborates with researchers;
collects and shares adaptable practices and procedures that put person before task; creates communication, networking and learning opportunities; and hosts a
national conference.
