Senior congregate housing provides a rich opportunity for the delivery of healthcare interventions targeted to reduce unnecessary emergency department trips, prevent falls and other crises and address social determinants of health like food insecurity, transportation and socialization. The challenge, however, is that each building is serviced by multiple payers, care managers and healthcare providers, without effective integration.

To address this, Hebrew SeniorLife has developed a population health approach to supporting older adults living in congregate housing. A prevention focused, place-based team is deployed to develop relationships with residents, link them with services and create clear lines of communication between housing staff and healthcare providers.

The R3 program brought together area agencies on aging, payers, municipal services such as fire departments and EMTs and community healthcare services to create a high quality and sustainable model of supports for older adults living in congregate housing. These partnerships focused on replicability and sustainability, and led to the development of a model that has the potential to reshape the way we pay for housing and healthcare.

Hebrew SeniorLife is the 2021 winner of The John A. Hartford Foundation Business Innovation Award!
