In My Backyard: Supportive Living to Keep Elders In the Community
08.12 - 08.15.2009 Little Rock, AR @ 1:30pm
John Shoesmith, AIA, LEED® AP, Principal at Mithun and Nora Gibson, Executive Director, Elder Health Northwest present In My Backyard: Supportive Living to Keep Elders in the Community on Thursday at the Pioneer Network 9th Annual Conference.
What happens when an elder who wants to remain a part of their community does not have access to family or home and community based services that allow them to realize that choice? Despite gains in the development of recent residential models, many are physically or perceptually part of a larger, separate retirement campus, and so many elders still are not too interested in leaving the fabric of their community to go “there”. This session will explore models of supported living where small homes are purposefully integrated into the community to provide localized centers for quality self-directed care.
