Aging Services member selected for affordable housing demonstration laboratory

COLLAGE, The Art & Science of Healthy Aging, a consortium of aging services organizations using an automated assessment system to advance healthy aging, has selected 20 sites nationally to participate in an affordable housing demonstration laboratory beginning October 2010. The chosen sites will use the COLLAGE new Web-based comprehensive assessment tools to advance healthy aging for housing residents and improve community outcomes.  Congratulations to Administrator Darlene Storti and Northaven I and II! 

Using the COLLAGE assessment information tool to capture essential health and wellness information has great potential to help resource-limited subsidized housing sites help older adults live and age more successfully. Similarly, aging services organizations that offer affordable housing are looking for ways to improve their ability to advise their clients on matters of health, wellness and successful aging; improve their management of risk; and more successfully link their clients to targeted community programs and services that facilitate independence and reduce the risk of premature institutionalization.
