Overview

The CAPABLE Model: An Aging in Place Intervention

Subtitle: An Aging in Place Intervention for Older Adults in Central Texas

Geographic Scope: Central Texas (Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, Williamson counties)

Overview: St. David's Foundation funds replication of the Community Aging in Place—Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE) model, developed by the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. CAPABLE uses a multidisciplinary team approach to help vulnerable seniors live safely in their homes.

Model Description: The CAPABLE team consists of three professions:

  • Occupational therapist (OT)

  • Registered nurse (RN)

  • Handyperson
  • The program is guided by client-directed care—seniors determine their own goals for functional improvement and define the meaningful daily activities they want to achieve.

    Target Population:

  • Income: Low-income (generally under 250% FPL)

  • Age: Over 60 years old

  • Location: Central Texas

  • Criteria: Desire and cognitive ability to remain in home but have difficulty with activities of daily living that threaten their ability to remain safely at home
  • Eligibility: Tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and/or public entities

    Program Focus: Complements the Foundation's existing commitment to support aging in place for vulnerable seniors
