Success in the Field

The mission of the National Quality Caregiving Network (NQCN) is to improve the quality of long-term, home and community-based care by making evidence-based supports for family and professional caregivers widely available and easily accessible. A partnership effort between Johnson & Johnson and the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving,the NQCN is a learning community comprised of community-based demonstration sites, caregiving coalitions and researchers all working in partnership to develop effective strategies to translate programs for community use, develop agency readiness to implement programs with fidelity, and create supportive policy, funding, and community systems. The NQCN seeks to actively share lessons learned with the field in order to accelerate dissemination of effective programs.

Community Demonstration Sites

These sites are currently involved in the translation of evidence-based caregiver programs in their local communities. We will update this section regularly with information from each site regarding their experiences with the implementation process, including challenges and outcomes.

Research & Development Sites

Researchers housed at these universities are engaged in the development and translation of evidence-based programs for caregivers and are working with the agencies implementing their interventions in the community.

 

Georgia CARE-NET Coalition

The Georgia CARE-NET Coalition has been actively supporting the uptake of evidence-based programs for caregivers by providing statewide training in a variety of these programs. Additionally, the Coalition is working to secure full funding to establish a Family Caregiver Education and Training Network. Check this section regularly for updates on these and other activities of the Coalition.
