HOUSING WITH SERVICES STUDY TOUR

Has your organization considered expanding your home and community based services? Many seniors would like to stay in their home or residence rather than move to a care home, and yet they need help on a daily basis. Receiving services at home can be the answer to the need for care, while affording elders the privacy and comfort they crave. The Housing with Services study tour will highlight innovative service delivery models throughout the northeast of the United States. As a study tour participant, you will meet colleagues who share your interest in expanding housing with services product lines, as well as having access to experts such as Dr. Robyn Stone. Don't miss this opportunity to grow your network and meet with leaders in housing services. For more information contact IAHSA at iahsa@leadingage.org or visit the tour website.
