Brown University — Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research
The Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research’s primary mission is to advance the fields of gerontology and health services research through methodological and substantive research, informed by basic theories of aging, human development, and the illness experience. The goal of these efforts is to enhance the quality of life of persons with chronic illness, especially older adults. The research focus, both basic and applied, draws upon the social sciences as well as the clinical disciplines. Visit Website
As more of us live longer, we have a powerful opportunity to reimagine healthcare in ways that help us remain active and vital in our homes and communities. At Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions (CNHP), we believe that we need to re-engineer our current programs and policies to better serve the growing numbers of people aging with chronic conditions and overcome the preparatory limitations of today’s healthcare workforce. The Adult Day Service Plus Program (ADS Plus) and The WeCareAdvisor Study are examples of the efforts of Dr. Laura N. Gitlin and her teams to test the effectiveness of evidence-based nonpharmacological interventions for caregivers of people living with dementia. ADS Plus addresses the need for increased access to caregiver support by embedding these resources into existing community-based services, such as ADS centers. Likewise, The WeCareAdvisor Study is testing an online platform and app that provides family caregivers access to tailored strategies to their specific care challenges when and where they need them most. These efforts, among others, demonstrate CNHP’s AgeWell Collaboratory’s determination to serve as a center without walls to bring together researchers, community-based organizations and educators to disrupt the traditional healthcare system’s approach towards caring for older adults and to pave the way for new, proven strategies that improve healthy aging across the lifespan.
