Abstract
Emphasizing personal autonomy and community support, this paper presents three independent housing models in which older adults may be empowered to age successfully at home and engage in self-care and shared community care with innovations in technologies, financing, and nurse care coordination. Cooperative communities, naturally occurring retirement communities, and virtual villages are described and mapped to the AARP "age friendly" Livability Index, stakeholders, and partners. Helpful neighborhood services are mapped to innovative technologies that will enable them. On-site nurse-led Wellness Hubs are proposed to bridge from self-care in the community to established health care systems. Medicare payment for remote care, care coordination, and transitional care, as well as home-based care for dementia, will support this evolution toward what matters most to the growing population of older Americans.
期刊介绍：
The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging by publishing research and analysis on applied social issues. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports. Book and media reviews, International Spotlights, and award-winning lectures are commissioned by the editors.
