Judith A. Bellome, chief executive officer for Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care, has been invited to serve as a member of the National Advisory Council working to establish the National Framework for Geriatric Home Care Practice, a program designed to promote the provision of effective, patient-centered home health care for older adults that is safe, timely, efficient and equitable.

The council is supported by the Center for Home Care Policy and Research and was founded in New York more than 10 years ago to conduct rigorous research and support constructive change in the home-care industry.

The project is financed by the John A. Hartford Foundation.
