The briefing will highlight emergent research conducted by LeadingAge and its partners. Studies show that affordable senior housing can be an effective platform for allowing vulnerable older to maintain their health and quality of life and age successfully in their community, while helping control growth in Medicare and Medicaid expenditures.
Practitioners will discuss their strategies, which are helping to address high-risk factors such as medication complications and non-compliance, inadequate transitional care, and management of multiple chronic health conditions through population health management, moved care coordination, and interprofessional collaboration between housing, health and social service providers.
