Pioneer Network Pioneer Network was formed in 1997 by a small group of prominent professionals in long-term care to advocate for person-directed care.
This group called for a radical change in the culture of aging so that when our grandparents, parents — and ultimately ourselves — go to a nursing home or other community-based setting it is to thrive, not to decline. This movement, away from institutional provider-driven models to more humane consumer-driven models that embrace flexibility and self-determination, has come to be known as the long-term care culture change movement. Our partners and audience are primarily engaged in some aspect of long-term care including long-term care CEOs and administrators, consumers and family caregivers, doctors and nurses, direct care providers, and others who care about, and care for, the aging. Pioneer Network is a center for all stakeholders in the field of aging and long term care whose focus is on providing home and community for elders.
