Summary
Grant Overview
Integrated Care for the Aging Population in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, the aging population faces unique challenges that complicate access to healthcare and social support services. With approximately 19% of the state's population aged 65 and olderone of the highest percentages in the nationNew Hampshire requires integrated care solutions that address both health and social needs. Many older adults struggle with multiple chronic conditions, often requiring complex care coordination that is currently lacking in the healthcare system.
The primary beneficiaries of this initiative will be New Hampshire’s elderly population, particularly those residing in rural communities. Access to specialized geriatric care is limited, forcing many older adults to travel significant distances to receive treatment. This not only makes healthcare less accessible but can also deter older adults from seeking necessary care altogether, leading to worsening health conditions.
This grant will support the development of integrated care models that combine medical and social services for the aging population. The initiative will emphasize coordinated care across various disciplines, including healthcare providers, social workers, and community organizations. By creating a holistic care pathway, the program seeks to improve health outcomes and overall quality of life for older adults in New Hampshire.
Through building partnerships with local organizations and health systems, the program can ensure that services are designed to meet the unique needs of New Hampshire’s elderly. This integration is particularly crucial, as many older adults in the state may not have family support systems in place. Additionally, the initiative will promote caregiver support programs, acknowledging the vital role that family caregivers play in the health and wellbeing of older adults.
In contrast to neighboring states, New Hampshire's approach specifically focuses on the complexities of integrated care for an aging population with unique regional demographics. The program aims to bridge gaps in services through tailored interventions that ensure that older adults receive comprehensive care that promotes dignity and independence.
