ICAA online directory of successful programs for older adults
Translating the dimensions of wellness into everyday practice
Welcome to the ICAA Online Directory of Successful Programs. This Directory was created by people in the field who wanted to tell their colleagues about programs that improved the quality of life for older adults. And, they wanted to find new programs to expand their own offerings.
ICAA formed a work group to plan the format for the Directory, and now this resource is available to the active-aging industry.
Key points
- For the directory, “program” means a single class or activity, an event, or a series of classes/activities with a defined beginning and end.
- The program/activity is either a best practice (experience shows it is effective) or evidence-based (research shows it is effective).
- Professionals who submit a single class or activity, an event, or a series are willing to share how they did it so it can be copied.
- The listed program/activity meets these criteria: (1) meets the program goals, (2) was delivered more than once to show a history of success, and (3) has additional written materials to explain how to deliver the program.
