Concord Regional VNA and CATCH Neighborhood Housing have partnered to offer a new program called Positive Aging Through Home Supports for residents of Friedman Court II. The program uses a team-based approach that includes a health educator, wellness nurse, and resident service provider to support participants by helping them remain safe and healthy in their homes. Examples of how PATHS may support a participant: Create a plan that starts with small, realistic goals; Help identify ways to be successful in following recommended nutritional goals such as establishing and following a low-sodium diet; Review and implement doctor recommendations; Connect them to community resources that may be helpful in achieving goals; Coach them in being an active participant in their medical care. PATHS is offered as a part of Concord Regional VNA and CATCH community benefit programming so there is no charge. For more information, call 230-5673.
