The John A. Hartford Foundation
The John A. Hartford Foundation offers several resources to improve the care of older adults:
Additional Resources:
A guide for older adults and caregivers to talk to their health care providers about the essential elements of age-friendly care known as the 4Ms. The guide is also available in Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese.
Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) coordinate and provide all needed preventive, primary, acute and long-term care services so older adults can continue living in the community rather than in a nursing home. Use the PACEFinder to find a PACE program in your neighborhood. The page is also available in Spanish.
Online directory of proven programs that support family caregivers of people living with dementia. This first-of-its-kind directory for both professional organizations and family caregivers details nearly 50 top- rated dementia support programs, including local availability, program outcomes and enrollment information.
Bringing diverse leaders, stakeholders and experts together to advance practical solutions to long-standing nursing home quality issues. The Coalition has developed guides for improving nursing homes, holds monthly Coalition conversations and publishes resources.

Promoting access to fair and comprehensive Medicare coverage. The Center for Medicare Advocacy works to advance health equity by ensuring older adults get the care they deserve, offering expert policy analysis, legal advocacy, and educational resources.
Empowering people to navigate Medicare with confidence. The Medicare Rights Center is committed to improving access to affordable healthcare through direct support, advocacy, and education for individuals and professionals alike.
Fighting for the rights of older adults living in poverty. Justice in Aging uses the power of law and advocacy to ensure economic and healthcare justice for older adults, particularly those who have been marginalized due to race, gender, disability, or economic status.
