All-American Care – A patient-centered concept of care that focuses on restoring patients to their highest level of functioning. A restorative care model eliminates wasteful business practices, lowers costs by eliminating irrelevant medication, testing and treatment, improves morale, and reduces staff turnover and absenteeism. All-American Care uses a case management approach, resulting in positive patient outcomes, discharges back to the community or improvements in the functionality of patients who need to reside in nursing homes.

Dorotha C. White Foundation – The mission of the Dorotha C. White Foundation is to improve the quality of life in nursing homes by restoring Elderpride. The Foundation's call to action is to educate and inform families and consumers, owners and providers, and government to create a non-partisan, grassroots social and political movement for change.
