Abstract:

Abstract LGBTQ seniors have some different needs for programs and services, are at a higher risk of social isolation, and are often underserved in the community. Senior centers serve as a hub of resources in a community and are purposefully situated to address the needs and interests of all seniors in a community; they are a natural outlet for targeted programming for LGBTQ seniors. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate what municipal senior centers across Massachusetts are doing to meet the needs of their LGBTQ seniors. A total of 24 senior centers were identified by the Massachusetts

Abstract:

Abstract As local hubs for aging services, senior centers are well-positioned to engage in dementia-friendly community (DFC) work. Yet centers vary in their engagement, especially as the DFC concept has been introduced only recently in the US. Using a mixed-methods approach, we drew on data from a survey of senior centers in Massachusetts, the US Census, and qualitative interviews with senior center staff to examine factors associated with DFC engagement. Centers that reported greater engagement were in municipalities with higher proportions of older residents from vulnerable groups (e.g., adu

Abstract:

Community-based care services offered by senior centers are vital for supporting older adults’ independent living. The number of senior centers has escalated in China in recent years. Despite scholarly interest in the potential accessibility of senior centers, research on older adults’ realized access remains scarce. Using the geo-referenced check-in data of 2382 users of senior centers in Nanjing, China, this study aims to fill this gap by examining the disparities between older adults’ potential and realized access to senior centers and the influence of multilevel spatial and non-spatial fac

Abstract Community senior centers are tasked with providing aging adults services and programs, congregate meals, and transportation, set forth by the Older Americans Act. The overall function of senior centers is especially critical for rural communities, as rural communities are home to a greater proportion of older adults compared to metropolitan and low-density urban areas. To assess the current needs of the aging population in rural Northwest, OH, a total of 9 focus groups were held (N=45) as part of a larger mixed-methodological study.

Abstract Casino-going has been acknowledged as a common leisure activity for older adults, but what having a casino in the community means for the local older population has been understudied. Previous research has focused on problem gambling among older adults, but little is understood about how older residents perceive having a casino nearby and further how it impacts relevant senior services. This mixed-methods study gathered perspectives from 14 senior center directors and older residents (N = 411) of communities in Massachusetts that surround Plainridge Park Casino, the first casino that

Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains an extensive medical and social problem. It is the most common human disease and one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases. Increasing the level of senior medical students’ knowledge of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CAP will improve the level of medical care to the population. The aim of the study: to determine the level of senior medical students’ basic knowledge of CAP prevention, diagnosis and treatment with the help of a pharmacoepidemiological study. Materials and methods: The multicenter study “KNOCAP

Abstract:

<p>Although older adult minorities face disparities in health and health care, they continue to be underrepresented in health research. Studies with biological markers of health often lack representation of older minority adults. The purpose of this study was to describe perceptions of biomarkers among ethnic minority seniors who might participate in studies of biological markers of health and to document barriers and facilitators to acceptance of biomarkers. Six focus groups (3 of Spanish-speaking Latinos and 3 of African Americans) were conducted in three community senior service orga

Abstract:

This study used integrated research methods to explore the role of senior welfare centers in implementing the care recognized in the senior welfare field as a service. Because it is not easy to determine what level and scope of care should be provided as a service at senior welfare centers, the role and identity of senior welfare centers need to be redefined in the community care system. Based on this reality, this study was conducted through a mixture of qualitative and quantitative research to examine what care is perceived by those using Senior Welfare Center B and the content of actual car

Abstract This presentation will situate the impact of participating in artistic performances for the first time in later life in relevant scholarship. A growing body of research indicates that older adults benefit from active engagement in the arts, and that this can reduce loneliness, depression and isolation, and improve subjective well-being and quality of life. Benefits include strengthening social connections and a sense of belonging, as well as defining and asserting a sense of self. These outcomes can have a positive impact on physical health as well – older adults engaged in the arts e

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an adapted Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle program, DPP Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB), delivered in 3 economically diverse senior/community centers. Methods The DPP-GLB was implemented in 3 senior/community centers in Allegheny County, PA. A 6-month delayed control intervention design was used. Participants were randomized to begin the DPP-GLB immediately (immediate) or after a 6-month delay (delayed).

Abstract Churches and senior centers are social engagement hubs for older Black and African Americans (BAA) that can positively impact well-being. Although these facilities re-opened after the COVID-19 pandemic, engagement with these facilities has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Our long-term goal is to develop a behavioral intervention to address the re-engagement needs/concerns of BAA older adults as a means of preventing/reducing depressive symptoms and disability.

This study was conducted to verify the effectiveness of use according to the purpose of establishing a senior citizen center, focusing on the late elderly aged 75 or older. To this end, the effectiveness of using senior citizen centers was evaluated by dividing into social participation-leisure-cultural satisfaction, friend and community satisfaction, and overall life satisfaction. The difference in differences(DID) analysis was conducted using the 2008 and 2020 National Survey of Older Persons. As a result, it was found that the overall level of satisfaction with social participation-leisure-

Objectives: Socialization predicts cognitive aging outcomes. Neighborhoods may facilitate socially engaged aging and thus shape cognition. We investigated places where older adults socialized and whether availability of these sites was associated with cognitive outcomes. Methods: Qualitative analysis of interviews and ethnography with 125 older adults (mean age 71 years) in Minneapolis identified where participants socialized outside of home. This informed quantitative analysis of a national sample of 21,151 older Americans (mean age at baseline 67 years) from the Reasons for Geographic and Ra
