    Aging in Place: The Role of Public-Private Partnerships
    (2020-08-10) Hodgson, Nancy A.
    Declining public resources necessitate collaboration between public and private investors in order to meet the demands of an aging society to ‘age in place.’ Aging in place is a term that has emerged in the past ten years to describe older people’s desire to stay in their home and community. This paper presents an overview of aging in place and the role of public-private partnerships in finding solutions. Examples illustrate the common elements of successful existing partnership models for future replication. Additional opportunities for innovation demonstrate that much more can be done to meet the needs of the aging population and honor their preference to age in place.

    The Association of Spirituality & Memory in Older Black and White U.S. Adults
    (2025-06-10) Britt, Katherine C.; Dong, Fanghong; Hamilton, Jill B.; Massimo, Lauren M.; Hodgson, Nancy A.; Stites, Shana D.; Mechanic-Hamilton, Dawn
    This study investigates associations between religiousness and spirituality with memory and executive function among cognitively unimpaired older Black and White adults. We examined data from the Aging Brain Cohort (ABC) at The University of Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center from 2021-2022. Participants who reported higher spirituality but not religiousness had better memory but not executive function, controlling for age, education, sex, and social interaction. Greater spirituality is associated with better memory among older Black and White Americans in this sample, informing a greater understanding of the underlying connection between spirituality and cognitive health.
