How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Arts-for-Wellness as a Pathway to Holistic Healthmethodology: arts-for-wellnessBy integrating sustained creative expression through arts programming into core services, we improve psychological and physiological well-being among older adults because engagement in the arts activates cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of health.
- Hybrid and Multi-Access Service Delivery to Support Aging in Placemethodology: aging-in-place support modelBy offering services through multiple access points—including in-person, virtual, phone, and home visits—we enable older adults to age safely and with dignity in their communities because flexible modalities reduce barriers related to mobility, geography, and health status.
- Person-Centered Engagement for Dignity and Growthmethodology: person-centered_engagementBy tailoring engagement to individual preferences and cultural backgrounds through center-based or home-based interactions, we foster personal growth and sustained involvement among older adults because personalized connection affirms identity and agency.
