SPEAKER NOTES ONLY; NOT FOR AUDIENCE
Welcome and introduction
SPEAKER NOTES ONLY; NOT FOR AUDIENCE
American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), www.aarp.org:
Nearly 90 percent of seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age, often referred to as “aging in place.”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines aging in place as "the ability to live in one's own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level."
A majority of aging adults want to stay at home, yet nursing home placement is frequently the only option to care for their complex medical condition. (Journal of the American Society on Aging, 2006)
SPEAKER NOTES ONLY; NOT FOR AUDIENCE
What is InnovAge LIFE?
LIFE (Living Independently For Elders) is an alternative option to nursing facilities that helps seniors age independently. InnovAge LIFE provides nearly all medical care and social support at a center nearby.
Programs like LIFE have been shown to improve the health and wellness of participants.
InnovAge LIFE includes:
Expert medical team dedicated to senior
healthcare
Coordinated care designed around your
medical needs and social interests
Unlimited approved transportation to
and from the center and medical appointments
Access to specialty care including dental, vision, hearing and foot care
In-home assistance, prescribed medications,
medical equipment and supplies
Support and respite for caregivers

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), is a Medicare and Medicaid state option program for those who are eligible for nursing home-level care but can safely reside in the community. The program integrates both acute and long-term care, amounting to a continuum of both medical and social services. In addition to better clinical outcomes through shorter hospital stays, lower mortality rates, and better self-reported health and quality of life, costs for PACE enrollees are estimated to be 16 to 38 percent lower than Medicare fee-for-service costs for the elderly population and 5 to 15 percent lower than costs for comparable Medicaid beneficiaries.
Civic engagement and volunteering can reduce mortality; increase physical function, muscular strength, and levels of self-rated health; reduce symptoms of depression and pain; and increase life expectancy.
