Purpose: Research demonstrates that aging in place is the goal of most adults aged >50 years. Unfortunately, multiple barriers to aging in place continue to exist, especially for vulnerable populations. Achieving this goal will require innovative nurse-led models of care and new policies for RN reimbursement. The current article describes a nurse-led clinic implemented in one community.
Method: Using an evidence-based nurse-led model of care, a team of university faculty, students, and a family nurse practitioner designed and implemented a nurse-led clinic for a religious community in the Pacific Northwest.
Results: Today, the nurse-led clinic offers care coordination and primary care to support aging in place and is one example of a nurse-led model well-positioned to address the aging in place needs of vulnerable populations.
Conclusion: Replication and sustainability of this nurse-led model requires sweeping policy change, including consideration of requiring all nurses to attain a National Provider Identification number to expand RN reimbursement and ultimately increase access to care. [(3), 13-17.].

Telerehabilitation is a new form of care that provides digital access to rehabilitative services. However, it places many demands on the users-both patients and therapists. The aim of this study was to determine the requirements and competencies needed for successful usage, identify person- and context-specific differences and develop a competency model.

In many western countries informal care is conceived as the answer to the increasing care demand. Little is known how formal and informal caregivers collaborate in the context of an diverse ageing population. The aim of this study was to gain insight in how professionals' perspectives regarding the collaboration with informal carers with a migration background are framed and shaped by intersecting aspects of diversity.

Background: Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) via MRI is costly and can be limited by regional availability. With the recent advancements and discovery of amyloid in the retina, diagnosis of AD and the effect of AD pathology on the retina is becoming well characterized. However, the prevalence of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) and its effects on the retina are less well known.

Background: Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, using low intensity near-infrared light is a noninvasive form of treatment with no side effects can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). In a double-transgenic mouse model of AD (APPswe/PS1dE9), chronic PBM therapy has been shown to reduce Aβ plaques accumulation in specific regions of the brain, including the neocortex and hippocampus. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of PBM therapy on brain cortex neuroprotective gene expression and behavior in this APPswe/PS1dE9 mouse model.
