115-G. Supporting Older Adults to “LivWell” in Affordable Housing

Residents of affordable senior housing communities face poor health outcomes and functional challenges linked to low incomes, advanced age, and racial and ethnic diversity. To address these urgent needs, two LeadingAge members—Springpoint Senior Living and Parker Health Group—created LivWell, an affordable-housing-based wellness initiative that supports quality of life, personal choice, lifelong development, and optimal well-being for more than 300 residents across 11 affordable housing communities. Presenters will discuss LivWell's program design, governance structure, funding, and performance metrics. They'll also share findings from a recent program evaluation by the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston.
