I also really think more people could benefit from a small residential center -- where like the one in NL, 15 to 16 people with dementia per center and many caregivers.
This means it's not one person with illness living with just one or two other people, and it's not a terrible institution with 30 people living along in hallway with 3 staff

And 100 hallways in a bit factory building
And other arrangements like that but even smaller could be brainstormed based on people's individual circumstances
But this kind of creativity and consulting and community coordination isn't on anyone's radar I've heard of
"Better health through philanthropy"
"GIH does not give grants or provide assistance in finding grants. For more information on funding opportunities, visit the Foundation Center."
I was at their office once a long time ago in NYC. Worth looking into more.
I am interested in models beyond "grants" facilitated by organizations. Or more innovative, 21st century forms of these.
This organization has a promising mission statement, but looking at their focus, it's missing key things we want to and can work on.
"How can we accomplish as much good as possible?
The Open Philanthropy Project’s mission is to give as effectively as we can and share our findings openly so that anyone can build on our work. Through research and grantmaking, we hope to learn how to make philanthropy go especially far in terms of improving lives. We’re passionate about maximizing the impact of our giving, and we’re excited to connect with other donors who share our passion."

"The advice we heard most often when we started giving was “focus on something you’re passionate about.” In our case, we’re passionate about improving others’ lives as much as we can, and our level of excitement about an issue depends on how much good we believe we’ll accomplish by working on it.
So, instead of starting with a predefined set of focus areas, we’re considering a wide variety of causes where our philanthropy could help to improve others’ lives. We’re prioritizing based on three criteria: importance, neglectedness, and tractability."

Their thinking looks amazing, but their focus areas neglect the areas we want to work on.
