What is the history of the Culture Change Movement?
For more than a decade, a small group of early pioneers in the long-term care field have worked to fundamentally change the values, practices and culture of their organizations to create places for living and growing, rather than for declining and dying. In 2000, these reform leaders from around the United States established the Pioneer Network (http://www.pioneernetwork.net/ as the umbrella organization for the Culture Change movement. In recent years, this movement has expanded to include home and community-based services.
