JAGS Article: Lessons from the Department of Veterans Affairs - A Continuum of Age-Friendly Care for Older Adults
The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) has published a Special Article, "Lessons from the Department of Veterans Affairs: A Continuum of Age-Friendly Care for Older Adults."
The article highlights how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking a multifaceted approach to shift care delivery to focus on long-term services and supports that promote aging in place through innovation pilots, expansion of Home and Community Based Services and adoption of Age-Friendly Health Systems.
Leaders across different healthcare systems can draw valuable insights from the VA's initiatives to offer a comprehensive range of age-friendly programs and services that support independence, functionality, well-being, and the ability to age in place.
