The current global age-friendly movement supports older adults by promoting different policies and services. However, there is a dearth of attention to nursing home (NH) residents as part of age-friendly movements. The pioneering idea of an age-friendly health system, i.e., the “4 Ms” model is significant for NHs and formative for further developments; however, it does not identify unique components of NH care. This article aims to identify specific aspects of person-centered care in the literature to advance the development of a standardized conceptual framework. Along with residents, NH staff and administrators are integral parts of NHs. Incorporating the central role of caregivers, this study proposes a new “8 Ms” framework to describe the age-friendly NH. The traditional 4 Ms model notes that everything related to care matters to residents, along with care related to  medication, mobility , and  mentation . The proposed age-friendly framework introduces five additional “M,” i.e.,  meaningful  care,  motivation, moderation, modification , and  monitoring . This framework is proposed to advance education, training, clinical practice, research, and advocacy to promote quality of care in NHs. Application of the 8 Ms framework may yield multiple benefits, assuring good quality of care to residents, caregivers’ job satisfaction, and supporting NH management in providing residents optimal care.
