We Value the Lived Experience
Our Mission
To empower seniors to live independently in their home leveraging community resources, existing health insurance, and supportive partnerships.
Our Vision
Leveraging the senior's lived experiences to age happy, healthy, safely, where their wishes, voice, and cultural connections are honored.
Population We Serve
The older adult, (elder, senior), living in low-income senior housing*. They usually have insurance and a primary care doctor, or we can help to connect them to both.

Why
The literature, research, our professional, and personal experiences tell us that many in this population need additional and on-going supports to live well independently. While they have health insurance and a primary care physician, two important care factors, these are only a portion of the whole wellness and self-care sustainability paradigm for an elder’s wellbeing.
​
Our Model: Longitudinal Social and Functional Caring
Elders who are low-income, living with complex chronic diseases, physical limitations, generational poverty, and other social determinants of health often struggle to understand their coverage and resources that exist in the community. Poor general health, health literacy deficits, hearing or visual limitations, mental health challenges, the daily complexities of their lived story, and the limitations of traditional care coverage and care systems, leaves these elders with significant care gaps. Wisdom Wellness Care Model operates without visit limitations, or diagnosis that dictate number of allocated visits. Rather, we provide presence, care, and consultation weekly based on the seniors expressed need as they self-care manage in their independent apartment living community.
