Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive framework for capitalizing on the growing market for Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry professionals with a proven executive strategy for the design and development of successful Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) projects. Using two of America's foremost CCRCs as best practice case studies, it guides readers through every critical aspect of the process, from research and planning through construction, including: * The enterprise concept * Formation of an executive organization * Financial and legal due diligence * Marketing and sales preparation * Residents' expectations and requirements * Healthcare and residential services * The design and build process * Project monitoring and assessment The over-65 population is increasing rapidly and dramatically, raising crucial concerns about the housing and care of senior citizens in the years ahead. How can we provide the best possible quality of care to the elderly? How can architects, developers, and others capitalize on the growing senior housing industry and stay competitive in the future? How can the facilities they create deliver both good service and strong financial returns? While there are no easy answers to these important questions, the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has emerged as a flexible and attractive option for providing combined housing, services, and nursing care to the elderly. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry professionals with a comprehensive, three-part strategic framework for designing and developing successful CCRC projects. Part I identifies the eight critical success factors of a CCRC enterprise and illustrates them through an in-depth examination of two exemplary developments, The Cypress of South Carolina's Hilton Head Island and The Stratford in the San Francisco Peninsula. Part II details a computer-based "standard of performance" system to track progress and assess project performance. Finally, Part III examines how to use different types of research to stay on top of market trends and forecasts, legal and licensing requirements, and more. Together, the three elements of this executive strategy cover every aspect of the development process, from the initial enterprise concept and executive organization building to financial and legal due diligence, marketing and sales, residents' services and healthcare, and design and build. Readers gain essential guidance in tackling key project management issues as well as in developing effective problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. Written by an author team with extensive CCRC experience, Senior Residences helps encourage avenues of thought that will lead to more cohesive, responsive, and successful CCRC projects that benefit the professionals who build them and the residents who live in them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the US Census Bureau, the US population aged 65+ years is expected to nearly double over the next 30 years, from 43.1 million in 2012 to an estimated 83.7 million in 2050. These demographic advances, however extraordinary, have left our health systems behind as they struggle to reliably provide evidence-based practice to every older adult at every care interaction. Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), in partnership with the American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA), designed Age-Friendly Health Systems to meet this challenge head on. Age-Friendly Health Systems aim to: Follow an essential set of evidence-based practices; Cause no harm; and Align with What Matters to the older adult and their family caregivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers a range of approaches to the regulation of supportive housing for seniors. These approaches take into account the special hybrid quality of supportive housing as housing with services and the particular needs of seniors, especially at the high "assisted living" end of the supportive housing range. The methodology for the research included a review of literature and legislation in Canada, the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia; consultation with seniors and with professional stakeholders; an evaluation of potential approaches to regulation and possible options to supplement or support regulation (including a National Working Group on Supportive Housing to create best practices guidelines, a Supportive Housing Centre of Excellence, elder ombudsmen, and an information database and seniors' hotline). The Report is intended to serve as an information resource for Canadian policy makers and others concerned with supportive housing for seniors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her husband's ill health forces them to move into an assisted living facility, Anne M. Wyatt-Brown suddenly finds herself surrounded by elderly residents. In this lively and provocative collection, other distinguished gerontologists reflect on Anne's moving account of her transition to becoming a member of a vibrant and sociable community that offers care-giving support, while encouraging her to pursue her own interests, including exercising, reviewing articles for scholarly journals, serving on committees, and singing. By redefining notions of care and community, undoing the stigmas of aging, and valuing the psychological factors involved in accepting assistance, this volume provides a bold new framework for thinking about aging, continuing care, making the big move to a retirement community, and living with vitality in the new environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guide is aimed primarily at urban planners, but older citizens can use it to monitor progress towards more age-friendly cities. At its heart is a checklist of age-friendly features. For example, an age-friendly city has sufficient public benches that are well-situated, well-maintained and safe, as well as sufficient public toilets that are clean, secure, accessible by people with disabilities and well-indicated. Other key features of an age-friendly city include: well-maintained and well-lit sidewalks; public buildings that are fully accessible to people with disabilities; city bus drivers who wait until older people are seated before starting off and priority seating on buses; enough reserved parking spots for people with disabilities; housing integrated in the community that accommodates changing needs and abilities as people grow older; friendly, personalized service and information instead of automated answering services; easy-to-read written information in plain language; public and commercial services and stores in neighbourhoods close to where people live, rather than concentrated outside the city; and a civic culture that respects and includes older persons.

Download or read book Emergent Seniors' Age-Ability Framework an Ecological Framework for Positively Supporting Changing Preferential Age-Able Behaviours of Daily Living in Long Term Care written by Aldo Di Giovanni and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Age-able Age-ability --- a new age of old age… As people age they change, just as they changed through child and youth development. As children and youth undergo development and emerge differently as a result of their development, so seniors undergo development and emerge differently as a result of their development. Human adaptation and development result from feeding our strengths, not from feeding our weaknesses. All the same, the prevailing approach to care for the aged is to feed weaknesses, that is: dysfunction, disability, disintegration, disease and illness. The 'Emergent Seniors' Age-ability Framework' is a developmental framework for supporting seniors to adapt and develop themselves in light of significant and irreversible changes due to aging. The ESAF attends to the person's strengths, as they are and feeds those strengths to enable seniors to achieve their present actual potential based on their actual capacities and functionalities. The ESAF focuses especially on those changes that impact on self-concept, identity and self-esteem as a result of changes in behaviours or activities of daily living. Age-ability does not refer to chronological age by to the aging process, which is natural and normal and should have adaptive and development responses, if seniors are to live well to the end of their days.Age-able is what an aging senior can do; age-disabled is what a senior cannot do. Age-ability covers a wide field of human functioning, including physical, mental and emotional activities. Assessment of age-ability should include perception, sensation, cognition, and responses to these in regards to behaviours or activities of daily living. And, as mentioned, in particular behaviours and activities that are intimately associated with self-concept, identity and self-esteem for it precisely these that adapt and develop as a human personality undergoes adaptation and development due to seniors' aging.The emergent person is the person to be valued. Emergent people should value themselves as they are in the present, and others should value them as they are in the present, and not as they were. This is essential for positive self-esteem, positive self-identity and positive personal functioning in daily living. Devaluation of the emergent person is catastrophic for the individual and the community supporting the individual. This developmental approach in regards to changes in old age is Age-ability and provides Age-able parameters, in effect ushering in 'a new age of old age'. It calls for a change in how seniors see themselves and their emergence in positive vital living. It calls for change in how others (in particular caregivers) see seniors and their emergence into new and vital living. At the time when seniors most rapidly lose their capacity to develop and adapt, they must take up significant and critical life changing developmental challenges. Building on concepts from the work of Wolf Wolfensberger (Normalization Principle and Social Role Valorization) and Urie Bronfenbrenner (Ecology of Human Development), Emergent Seniors heralds a new age of old age. Seniors and their care givers are introduced to a framework for affirmation of old age through development of new behaviours of daily living. Moving forward into this time of significant change, seniors take ownership of their personal destiny in order to positively and authentically affirm themselves by proactively and fully living to their present potential. This is must read for seniors and for anyone who will be providing support to aging seniors. The 'Emergent Seniors Framework' is support by the author's 10 years of long term care management and a 30 year career in managing social services, including human development programming.
