The Aging Life Care Association®, with its robust community of Aging Life Care Professionals®, is committed to promoting person-centered care that respects individual dignity and encourages independence. ALCA focuses on creating supportive environments and advocating for care practices that celebrate aging rather than simply manage it. They consistently provide valuable resources, support, and education to those serving older adults, ensuring that caregiving professionals are well-equipped to deliver exceptional, holistic care.
In his guest article titled “What Does It Mean to Be Age-Friendly?” Dr. Holloway thoughtfully explores the depth of age-friendly principles beyond the traditional safety measures, introducing the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s widely recognized “4Ms Framework”: What Matters Most, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. He emphasizes the importance of a proactive mindset that seeks to genuinely understand and respond to the unique needs and desires of older adults.
Dr. Holloway’s insights offer practical, actionable advice for caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone committed to creating environments that not only meet the physical requirements of aging but also uplift and empower older adults socially, emotionally, and psychologically.
We encourage everyone involved in caregiving, healthcare, and community-building to read Dr. Holloway’s compelling article to better understand and implement age-friendly practices in their daily interactions and professional settings.
