Purpose:
To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of Age-Friendly Integrative Mobile Services (AIMS), a community-based model guided by the 4Ms Framework to address complex needs of underserved older adults aging in place.
Method:
This longitudinal pilot enrolled adults aged ≥65 years who received in-home assessments, a mobile health unit visit, and follow-up encounters at 1 and 3 months. Nurse practitioner-pharmacist collaboration supported medication reviews and personalized care planning.
Results:
Seven participants enrolled (mean age = 70 years). Frequent needs included transportation, home modifications, food insecurity, and legal aid. Three participants showed possible cognitive impairment and four were at risk for falls. All received social prescriptions aligned with goals. Interprofessional collaboration resulted in deprescribing and tailored education to improve adherence. Follow up showed increased engagement with services.
Conclusion:
The AIMS pilot demonstrated feasibility and acceptability of a nurse-led, person-centered model. Community-based, age-friendly care may address disparities and promote safe aging in place.
