Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities

Guest: Sridevi Mohan, Epidemiologist, Public Health Madison & Dane County has a broad background in research, evaluation, aging, community engagement and equity issues. She is passionate about creating resilient communities and systems that embrace health and equity in all policies.  Sridevi was unable to join us, but you may still look at her overview of Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities. The handout will help you understand and identify Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) that evolve over time in a variety of ways.

Sridevi had planned to share how service has been provided in the past and the new paradigm for service in an NORC.  For those who want to learn more you can read the report A Special Report from United Hospital Fund: A Good Place to Grow Old: New York’s Model for NORC Supportive Service Programs by Fredda Vladeck and review this table in context.
