ABSTRACT
This article examines issues related to the research-practice divide in long-term care and offers insights on why environmental gerontology has had a variable effect on the larger long-term care system, specifically nursing homes. A Delphi survey technique, a form of action-based research, is a viable solution to assist in bridging the divide. A discussion follows of the key research agendas gleaned by the authors from a recent Delphi study that engaged multiple stakeholders involved in transformative practices in long-term care. This article calls for systemic research agendas that are rooted in the context of practice.
