Mobile Integrated Healthcare-Community Paramedicine (MIH-CP) is a great tool to help older adults aging in place. In this article, we will discover how MIH-CP and aging in place fit together.<\/span><\/p>\n

MIH-CP teams can support older adults aging in place<\/span><\/a> in several ways. First, they can help evaluate a person\u2019s home environment and make it more conducive to healthy living. Second, they can take an active role in the person\u2019s health management, ensuring that their care is delivered as efficiently and effectively as possible. Finally, MIH teams can treat and monitor many chronic conditions outside the hospital, allowing people to remain where they are most comfortable: their homes.<\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

MIH-CP and Aging in Place: How Mobile Integrated Healthcare Can Help<\/span><\/h2>\n

Aging in place is about keeping people in a comfortable environment as they grow older. This is in contrast to the popular idea that people should be placed in care homes as they age. Of course, there is a place for both; however, there is some evidence that aging in place offers unique benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few obvious benefits include memory and mobility. If you have someone who is already struggling with memory or movement as they age, and then you move them to a new environment, you are introducing a lot of stress into that person’s life. At home, they were familiar with where they stored their medications, how they used the bathroom, and when and where they got their meals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Certainly, many of these things are taken care of in assisted living facilities (or other live-in institutions), but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that this causes real stress for people. Aside from the practical concerns (trying to remember where they store their medications), moving aging adults into an unfamiliar environment can also have psychological impacts. <\/span><\/p>\n

With all that being said, this article is not meant to be a pros and cons debate about aging in place; rather, it will highlight some of the benefits of aging in place and discuss how mobile integrated healthcare-community paramedicine can be a prime facilitator. <\/span><\/p>\n
