Better mental wellbeing for Nursing Home residents
starts here.
The necessity to enhance the care of nursing facility residents with mental health and substance use issues is becoming increasingly apparent.
Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities (COE-NF) Grant Ending September 2025
The Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities (COE-NF) will reach the end of its three-years of funding on September 29, 2025.
After that date, technical assistance consultations and live training events will no longer be available.
The COE-NF training and resources will be accessible on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service website after the grant concludes. Further details on how to access these materials will be provided soon. If you have any questions, please contact CMP-info@cms.hhs.gov.
Alliant Health Solutions will also continue to support public access to COE-NF resources and training videos by hosting them on this site – www.nursinghomebehavioralhealth.org for at least one (1) year through September 2026.
