Who We Are

Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) imparts principles and tools to stimulate changes in clinical practice to achieve patient-centered nursing care for older adults in healthcare facilities. The vision of NICHE is that all older adults, age 65 and over, receive age-friendly, exemplary nursing care.

We take the health and well-being of our patients and the member community very seriously. Like you, we are closely monitoring the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Visit our COVID-19 Resources page and Need to Know series for important information about how to navigate hospital or nursing home stays during this time.

It's flu season! Did you know that vaccines are not merely meant to protect the recipient, but others too, particularly older adults? As we all take this opportunity to educate those around us on the benefits of this life-saving scientific advancement, we have created resources to help you Beat the Flu.
