Policy & Advocacy
The Moving Forward Coalition advances nursing home quality by elevating lived experience and bringing practical, on‑the‑ground learning into policy and advocacy. We center the perspectives of people most impacted by nursing home care and translate insights from our implementation initiatives into actionable policy recommendations.
We ground our policy agenda in day‑to‑day nursing home realities, build consensus through national leaders and our Steering Committee, and produce resources that policymakers and partners can use to strengthen accountability, person‑centered care, and workforce sustainability.
The Role of the Steering Committee
Our national Steering Committee of leading organizations and experts guides the Coalition’s policy and advocacy work by setting shared priorities, amplifying lived experience, and turning implementation lessons into actionable policy recommendations.
The Steering Committee brings together residents, advocates, providers, workforce leaders, and policy experts to keep the Coalition’s agenda grounded in real‑world perspectives and move work from ideas to consensus and action.
