🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 At Hebrew SeniorLife, we celebrate the ability of all people to live authentically in a way that aligns with what matters most to them. This month, we honor the LGBTQ+ residents, patients, staff, and families across all our campuses who enrich our communities with their unique perspectives and experiences. Our commitment to inclusion goes beyond words—it's woven into our daily care and programming. Through our LGBTQ+ chaplain resident program, specialized conversation groups, including facilitating discussions for grandparents supporting transgender loved ones, and participating in community events such as Boston Pride for the People, we're committed to ensuring everyone feels valued, respected, and supported to live their best lives. At Hebrew SeniorLife, love is love—at every age and stage of life. 🌈 (fb)

📢 A new study published in The Gerontologist found that Hebrew SeniorLife’s Right Care, Right Place, Right Time (R3) program, which integrates health care services within affordable housing for older adults, improves the health and well-being of residents. The study examined the perceived effects of the R3 program on approximately 400 older adults across seven affordable housing sites in the Greater Boston area. It found that the personalized support offered by wellness teams helped reduce emergency care use, boost resident empowerment, and enhance the sustainability of housing operations. Examples of the services offered by the R3 program include: 📚 Distributing educational materials about self-care and other important wellness issues 🏠 Issue-specific counseling (e.g., home modifications, medication management) 🩺 Monitoring high-risk residents and connecting them with health resources 🤝 Coordinating services among health care providers, payers, and care managers 🏥 Facilitating hospital-to-home transitions 👥 Leading group programs 📖 Learn more about how this model is advancing the future of aging and supportive housing 👉🏾 (fb)
