Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • A significant portion of the elderly population (over 40% of those 75+) will require extensive healthcare services.
  • Negative public perception of nursing homes is partly due to research showing health deterioration after relocation.
  • The Aging in Place model addresses these concerns by providing continuous care coordination and services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Aging in Place model in supporting elderly individuals with increasing healthcare needs.
  • To compare health outcomes and care experiences of clients in the Aging in Place program with those in traditional care settings.

Main Methods:

  • The Aging in Place model, facilitated by University Nurses Senior Care (UNSC), offers care coordination and flexible service options.

  • Evaluation involves comparing project clients with nursing home residents of similar acuity and clients receiving standard community support.
  • Data collection will focus on health status, care utilization, and client satisfaction.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary data suggests the Aging in Place model can provide a viable alternative to institutionalization for frail elderly individuals.
    • The model's integrated care coordination aims to mitigate the negative health impacts associated with frequent care transitions.
    • Further analysis will quantify the benefits compared to traditional care pathways.

    Conclusions:

    • The Aging in Place model demonstrates potential for improving the quality of life and health outcomes for older adults.
    • This model offers a scalable solution for managing the complex healthcare needs of an aging population.
    • Findings will inform consumers, researchers, providers, insurers, and policymakers on effective elder care strategies.
