  • What is the Community Innovations Aging In Place Project?

    According to the National Adminstration on Aging (AOA):

    "The Community Innovations for Aging in Place Initiative (CIAIP) was authorized by Congress in the Older Americans Act (OAA) reauthorization of 2006 to assist communities in their efforts to enable older adults to sustain their independence and age in place in their homes and communities.

    Applicants for funding under the CIAIP initiative were instructed to assess their communities to identify any barriers to independence and aging in place, and then, in collaboration with other community organizations, identify innovative strategies for providing and linking older individuals to programs and services that provide comprehensive and coordinated health and social services to older individuals and support aging in place. Health and social services considered critical to aging in place include care management including health care management, evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services, education, socialization, recreation and civic engagement opportunities.

    Collaboration is an important component of any community-based innovative strategy to assist frail older adults to remain independent and age in place. Successful projects are able to establish partnerships with local entities including Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs), area agencies on aging (AAAs), local providers of health and social services, housing entities, community development organizations, philanthropic organizations, foundations, and others."
