The Present and Growing Need to Provide Affordable Health Care Related Housing

"The challenging work of integrating funds from multiple sources falls on the providers of these services (health, housing). What can be accomplished is a bottom-up economic development designed to enhance and support an at-risk audience (elderly households). The metrics would be monetary (cost savings), as well as social (improved quality of life for seniors). Ideally, the integration of funding would occur at a different level, leaving the providers to provide services and the residents to live secure in the knowledge that they will continue to live in their local community as long as possible, creating a sense of place."

Preventing falls

A low-cost state program to raise senior citizens' awareness about the dangers of falling reduced such accidents by 17 percent, a newly published study says. "Falling is a geriatric syndrome," said Dr. Steven Albert, chairman of the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Behavioral and Community Health Services and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Public Health. "There's no magic bullet to prevent it." To reduce falls, the state Department of Aging devoted about $1.2 million for Healthy Steps, which is free to the participants. The program, which has been run through the region's area agencies on aging combines exercise with small-group information sharing, a link to seniors' primary care doctors and a home safety check. http://ow.ly/uOEe4
