The Affordable Care Act of 2010 required that the services funded by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services must be provided in a person-centered setting (Burm, 2014). Recently, however, this concept is beginning to get strictly implemented in most HCBS settings, in order to provide integrated and coordinated care. ‘Person-centered’ care allows for a holistic methodology to enhancing an individual’s health and well-being. Person-centered care focuses on an individual’s “physical health, intellectual health, social wellness, emotional wellness, creative being and spiritual being” (Burm, 2014). It allows for care to be planned based on an individual’s particular reference, values and goals. It honors a senior’s self-respect, choice, self-determination,

All the participants care plans and daily activities need to be personalized for each and every individual. This trend will continue for all HCBS, as it allows an individual’s care to be truly custom-made and appropriate to their health needs. No senior should be devalued because of his or her condition, and this concept emphasizes that fact. HCBS is gearing towards a higher gratification rate with greater health results, and the approach of person-centered care follows. Senior care is beginning to become sophisticated through advanced technology. Current senior citizens are aging in an era where electronics and technology are a crucial part of daily life. As society becomes more innovative, greater advancements in assistive technology will be created and used in HCBS settings. The formation of new technology will provide services that are cost-effective and used in public housing and various health care settings where the workforce is short of skilled workers in the field (Coughlin, 2014). The creation and use of various networked sensors and monitors will allow seniors to live independently at home, while the information from the sensors and monitors …show more content…
CCRC’s are considering partnerships with HCBS, as many CCRC’s are already implementing this structure (Notarstefano, 2014). This natural progression is occurring, because of the model allowing individuals to age in one community, even if they need additional services. The move to CCRC’s, as well as, other forms of housing, is meeting the consumers’ needs because 89% of individuals 50 and older want to ‘age in place’ (Notarstefano, 2014). This is a great majority of the older adult population. This vast population of seniors who want to attend HCBS is allowing for the expansion of CCRC’s. CCRC’s are running out of room and/or land within their communities; therefore, they need to add more independent living quarters. CCRC’s are currently looking for new alternative ways to grow and be cost effective, coming to the conclusion of establishing satellite communities and partnerships (Study, 2014). The satellite communities are being made as an extension of CCRC’s. The continuum of care will occur at one location, and individuals will be relocated to a nearby satellite community, which offers a more vigorous downtown lifestyle. A lot of younger older adults are still active within the community and do not want to attend any environment that feels like a retirement community, therefore the creation of satellite communities will bring a great new twist to this form of HCBS. The future of CCRC’s will
