About
Tetyana Shippee is a leading scholar in aging and long-term care, whose work fundamentally challenges how we conceptualize and deliver services to older adults. Her research centers on health equity, quality of life in residential care settings, and the structural factors that shape disparities among vulnerable populations. Shippee is best known for advancing the critical perspective that long-term care systems must be fundamentally reimagined—not merely reformed—to address systemic inequities and person-centered outcomes. Her widely cited 2022 paper, "The Inevitability of Reimagining Long-Term Care," has garnered 14 citations and serves as a cornerstone for contemporary debates on the future of aging services. Beyond this, her empirical studies have documented how race, socioeconomic status, and organizational context intersect to produce unequal care experiences in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. With a growing body of work that bridges policy analysis and lived experience, Shippee’s research has informed national conversations on Medicaid reform, direct care workforce challenges, and the imperative of dignity in late life. Her contributions continue to shape how researchers, practitioners, and policymakers understand the urgent need for systemic change in long-term care.
