About
Philip D. Sloane is a leading voice in gerontology and long-term care reform, whose work has fundamentally shaped how we understand and envision care for older adults. His research centers on the critical need to reimagine long-term care systems, moving beyond outdated institutional models toward person-centered, community-integrated approaches. In his highly influential 2022 paper, "The Inevitability of Reimagining Long-Term Care" (14 citations), Sloane traces the historical evolution of care options and argues that ongoing transformation is not only necessary but inevitable. He further advances this agenda in his 2023 work, "Nursing Home Reform in the Context of National Long‐Term Care Services and Policy" (3 citations), where he dissects the complexities of the National Academies report and highlights the persistent gap between policy ideals and on-the-ground realities. By challenging the very terminology of "nursing homes" and exposing the systemic flaws in current models, Sloane provides a compelling roadmap for reform. His scholarship is essential reading for students, researchers, and policymakers committed to building a more humane, effective, and dignified future for long-term care.
