| Mission: RI Generations' mission is to promote a person-centered care environment, rather than an institutionalized model of care for elders and the chronically ill residing in Rhode Island Nursing homes. Vision: RI Generations, Inc. is a non-profit organization, made up of individuals and representatives of organizations from all over RI, including those listed on the bottom of each web-page (Currently, only members with a web-link). Conceptualized following the St. Louis Accord meeting in 2005, which brought together "culture change" representatives and interested parties from all across the country to discuss issues and activities centered around individualized care in nursing homes and fostering any culture change initiatives. Important events in Rhode Island: The RI Culture Change Coalition began meeting in February 2006. In early 2007, members determined to rename the coalition to RI Generations. In February 2008, RI Generations incorporated as a RI non-profit, and we is preparing to apply for 501(c)(3) tax- exempt status! RI Generations’ focus is on one of the most important aspects of the reality of needing nursing home care; and that is that the care and services provided must be person-centered. RI Generations’ activities facilitate and support educational events that highlight for nursing home Administrator's and their staff, residents and family members of individuals residing in nursing homes, and the general public the importance of encouraging, supporting, and demanding "individualized resident-centered care" as a priority in Rhode Island.
