This study identified needs of older adults needing minimal support for independence. Findings reveal challenges in accessing services and highlight three patterns of inadequate social support for this hard-to-reach population.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Aging populations present challenges for community-based health promotion and disease prevention.
  • Older adults requiring minimal support to maintain independence are often overlooked by existing programs.
  • Accessing and integrating these individuals into the community is crucial for their well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop strategies for accessing hard-to-reach older adults.
  • To assess the specific needs of this population.
  • To design and test interventions for community integration.

Main Methods:

  • Action research methodology informed by health promotion and social support theories.
  • Data collection through participant observation, field notes, case notes, and clinical assessments.
