Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.6K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Aging01:26

Aging

356
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

257
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Community Based Intervention

125
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Urban Planning
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Older adults require diverse housing and service options.
  • Existing models may not fully meet evolving needs.
  • Age-friendly communities (AFCs) provide a framework for evaluating such options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare and contrast cohousing, NORC SS Program, and villages.
  • To link these models to the domains of the AFC framework.
  • To identify barriers, challenges, and opportunities for these housing models.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of three housing models.
  • Alignment with the eight domains of the AFC framework.
  • Discussion of implementation and sustainability challenges.

Main Results:

  • Each model offers unique benefits and challenges.
  • Models align with AFC domains concerning services, inclusion, participation, and affordability.
  • Barriers include policy, funding, and community integration.

Conclusions:

  • These models can expand age-friendly housing choices.
  • They offer a balance of autonomy, choice, and support for older adults.
  • Greater consideration in policy and practice can enhance older adult well-being.
