Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Background:

The growing population of older adults desires to age successfully at home.
Current healthcare systems face challenges in supporting aging in place.
Personal autonomy and community support are crucial for successful aging.

Purpose of the Study:

To present three independent housing models empowering older adults to age successfully at home.
To explore innovations in technology, financing, and nurse care coordination for aging in place.
To propose nurse-led Wellness Hubs bridging community self-care with healthcare systems.

Main Methods:

Description and mapping of cooperative communities, naturally occurring retirement communities, and virtual villages.
Alignment of neighborhood services with enabling innovative technologies.
Integration of Wellness Hubs with existing healthcare infrastructure.

Main Results:

Three distinct housing models are presented for successful aging at home.
Innovative technologies are mapped to support neighborhood services.
Nurse-led Wellness Hubs are proposed as a bridge between self-care and formal healthcare.

Conclusions:

Cooperative communities, naturally occurring retirement communities, and virtual villages offer viable models for aging in place.
Technological and financial innovations, alongside nurse care coordination, are essential for supporting older adults.
On-site Wellness Hubs can enhance the integration of community-based self-care with healthcare systems, aligning with older adults' preferences.
