Detail
Aging is a story of adaptation, strength, and possibility. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight, from Episode 50: Owning Your Aging, nurse, researcher, and philosopher Sarah L. Szanton, PhD, ANP, FAAN shares the story of CAPABLE, Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders, a nurse-led program that helps older adults maintain independence and dignity by pairing home visits from a nurse and occupational therapist with simple, low-cost home modifications.
By focusing on what people want and need to do, like bathing, cooking, or walking to the mailbox, CAPABLE helps participants cut disability in half, boost confidence, and dramatically reduce healthcare costs. Through small, smart changes, Szanton reveals how prevention, creativity, and respect for individual goals can transform lives and redefine what it means to age well.
Being able to change someone's life with a $50 item that everyone should have access to feels like magic.
