      <image:title>Services - Research &amp; Policy Analysis</image:title>
      <image:caption>We help leaders make sense of the forces reshaping care—from changing demographics and workforce challenges to evolving policy, markets, and public expectations. Drawing on deep expertise in long-term care, caregiving, aging, and workforce development, we combine rigorous research with policy expertise to uncover what’s changing, what it means, and where opportunities for action lie. Our Services Custom research—combining quantitative and qualitative methods, surveys, interviews, and secondary research to answer consequential questions and turn complex evidence into clear, actionable findings. Policy research and analysis—examining legislation, regulation, financing, and public programs to help organizations understand the policy landscape, anticipate change, and identify opportunities for reform. Landscape and market research—mapping trends, stakeholders, emerging models, and market dynamics to reveal gaps, opportunities, and strategic possibilities across the field. Stakeholder and lived-experience research—engaging workers, caregivers, consumers, providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to ensure strategies are grounded in the experiences of people closest to the issues. Research translation and thought leadership—transforming evidence into reports, briefs, frameworks, and other accessible products that inform decision-makers, advance policy conversations, and shape the field.

      <image:caption>We help organizations shape how people understand care, the challenges surrounding it, and what should change. Because narrative influences public attitudes, policy choices, and what solutions people believe are possible, we combine strategy, storytelling, and communications to make complex ideas meaningful, strengthen organizational positioning, and build demand for action. Our Services Narrative strategy and framing—identifying the ideas, values, and stories that can shift understanding, challenge limiting assumptions, and build support for new approaches to care. Messaging and positioning—helping organizations articulate who they are, what they stand for, and why their work matters through clear, distinctive messages that resonate with the audiences they need to reach. Thought leadership and content strategy—turning expertise and ideas into reports, articles, commentary, speeches, digital content, and other platforms that influence conversations and establish leadership. Public education and campaign strategy—designing communications efforts that translate complex issues for broader audiences, engage stakeholders, and build awareness and momentum around solutions. Creative storytelling and production—bringing strategies to life through writing, design, digital media, video, podcasts, and other creative formats that make ideas accessible, memorable, and human.

      <image:title>Our Team - Robert Espinoza, Founder &amp; CEO</image:title>
      <image:caption>Robert Espinoza is the Founder and CEO of The CareWorks Project, where he helps leaders redesign care, workforce, and long-term care systems for a rapidly changing world. A nationally recognized care systems strategist, writer, and public thinker, he advises organizations across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors on strategy, innovation, and systems change. Before founding The CareWorks Project, Robert served as Chief Executive Officer of the National Skills Coalition and Executive Vice President of Policy at PHI, the nation's leading authority on the direct care workforce. For more than two decades, he has worked at the intersection of caregiving, workforce development, aging, equal opportunity, and economic security. Robert is a Leadership &amp; Society Fellow at the University of Chicago and an Expert Advisor to the Health Workforce Research Center on Long-Term Care at the University of California, San Francisco. He has also served as a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and as Distinguished Fellow and Senior Advisor at the National Academy of Social Insurance. A frequent keynote speaker and trusted advisor, Robert has testified before the United States Congress, authored more than 100 publications, and been recognized nationally for his leadership, including being named to the Care 100 by the Care Guild. Through his work, he helps organizations anticipate change, connect ideas across sectors, and build stronger care systems that improve lives and expand opportunities. Whether advising organizations, convening cross-sector partnerships, or writing about the future of care, Robert advances one central conviction: the systems that support caregiving and work shape nearly every aspect of our lives. Building stronger care systems is not only essential for older adults, people with disabilities, workers, and families—it is fundamental to creating a more prosperous, resilient, and human future for everyone.
