A recently published Foundation-supported research project, conducted in conjunction with GuideStar Eldercare and its corporate skilled nursing facility partners, demonstrated the impact of a neurology-forward care model for achieving antipsychotic medication reduction. Additional research projects are underway, with new work in the pipeline for publication.

The Florence Posar Research Division is positioned to work with researchers, clinicians, and corporate long-term care facility partners on future research projects that can have a timely impact on residents’ quality of life. If you would like to develop a research project with the SLPMD Foundation, please contact us for a research application. A member of the foundation will reach out to you to begin the discovery process.
