Jordan M. Thompson, Paula Costello

Abstract

Date Presented 04/020/21 Low-income older adults are a vulnerable population who encounter many barriers to successfully aging in place. In this study, a 10-week Lifestyle Redesign® program, Discover Wellness, was implemented to determine its feasibility in promoting aging in place among low-income older adults residing in supportive housing. Innovative interventions such as Discover Wellness will help advance community OT practice regarding low-income older adults and aging in place.
