New House Calls Guide Links Affordable Senior Housing and Medical House Call Practices

Posted: March 11, 2008

IFAS has developed a guide that helps those who manage senior housing properties understand the goals of house call programs and how they operate, the type of patients they serve and the potential benefits of partnering with these programs.

Poor health, financial limitations or lack of accessible transportation can keep many residents of publicly subsidized housing from obtaining the medical services they need. But a new IFAS publication, Doctor at Your Door: The Senior Housing Community's Guide to Medical House Call Programs, suggests that house call practices could provide primary medical care, acute care, chronic care management and health education and wellness services in individuals' homes. This guide can be a valuable resource to senior housing providers who are helping to support their residents to age in place.
