“…Because NORC services are communitydriven, the residents have an opportunity to not only receive services but to also become involved in the planning and implementation of NORC activities. NORCs are consistent with successful aging paradigm and the movement to develop age-prepared communities because they emphasize providing opportunities for people to adopt healthy behaviors and remain active (Alley, Liebig, Pynoos, Banerjee, & Choi, 2007;Green & Cohen, 2005;Ivery, Akstein-Kahan, & Murphy, 2010).

“…These are known as "virtual CCCRs" and are different from the typical CCRC or senior housing development because these communities are formed naturally by migration patterns and are age-integrated with younger residents (Ivery 2010).

As the American population continues to age, there is an increased focus on person-centered care, which offers tremendous promise to improve both the quality and efficiency of care. The key feature is predicated on rethinking the medical model with the ultimate goal of supporting seniors to have more autonomy and control over their treatment and lifestyle as they age. Health information technology is a powerful tool that can support this transition by supporting care coordination, enhancing access, and empowering residents within the nursing home setting while also offering vehicles to provide needed services in home and community-based settings. Electronic health records can be used to increase efficiency, support care coordination, and provide caregivers timely access to information at any time or location. Telehealth includes an array of services that can increase quality and access in an inpatient setting and can also support individuals wishing to age in place. Technology can also be leveraged to increase physical, social, and cognitive stimulation. This paper provides details on a wide array of available health technologies, their benefits, and how these tools will transform the way people age during the next decade.
