• Resumen

  • The author reflects on the implementation of the home health model of medical care in the U.S. She suggests that the current medical, dental and social care systems in the U.S. are difficult to navigate and create pain and suffering for older patients and burnout for care providers. She argues that the health home approach places an emphasis on promoting health and well being and that the health home model of treating older people should receive support.
