HOPE for Older Adults

For our older adult community, the HOPE framework provides an opportunity to engage with systems and resources that will allow them to thrive, live a fulfilled lifestyle, and readily access the positive experiences that promote holistic wellbeing. The building blocks provide a unifying framework to synthesize the wealth of resources that already exist to support older adults and are equipped to provide the structure needed to allow individuals and organizations to become fully engaged through its simple and effective approach to wellness.

How do Older Adults Utilize HOPE?

In a Center for Excellence in Aging & Longevity (CEAL) Healthy Longevity Series Webinar, SPI and Serving Seniors teamed up to explore the benefits of utilizing the framework to support aging populations, and how it creates innovative opportunities and diversifies opportunities for health and wellbeing.
