About
Mission, history, and the team behind our work
Quality of Life Group is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2009, bridging gerontology research with practical care for older adults, families, and aging services partners.
Our Mission
Improving Quality of Life for Older Adults
We assist aging services and long-term care providers to ensure quality of life is provided to older adults around the world. Our work spans direct service, research, education, and policy advocacy.
Founded by Dr. Min Cole in 2009, Quality of Life Group has grown from a small consultancy into a comprehensive nonprofit organization serving hundreds of families and partnering with dozens of care organizations across the country.
Our Vision
A World Where Every Older Adult Thrives
We envision a future where every older adult has access to compassionate, evidence-based care that honors their dignity, preferences, and unique life experiences.
