One of the most palpable statements of maintaining independence, and a preference for a majority of older adults, is to remain in one’s own home environment. However, the risks associated with this are not necessarily considered, and are not always completely obvious. Environmental Geriatrics, developed by several health care educators at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, identifies the major consequences of an aging human body as they relate to the home environment with a 3-D animated course. Furthermore, this tool highlights the risks of a common living environment, ways to assess and address these issues, and methods to safeguard a home to properly address the risks of this common situation to best benefit older adults. Environmental Geriatrics uses a 3-dimensional model and animated computer graphics to emphasize the effects of aging on independent living. An elaborate model of a common suburban home displays the numerous hazards and solutions for elderly living at home. Numerous animations and images describe the aging processes which relate to independent living (or home dwelling). Topics ranging from the biomechanical changes in gait and balance abilities, to structural changes in bones, to vision impediments, to neurological degeneration, to sarcopenia, among many others, are addressed and illustrated with computer imagery throughout the program. As the winner of the “Product ofthe Year” at the 2006 Annual Reynolds Grantee Meeting, Environmental Geriatrics has already received many (well deserved)accolades. Consisting of 3 modules, the first, “Aging, Environements, and Excess Disability,” guides its user through the challenges and obstacles which face a domestic older adult because of decreased function, while also explaining the reasons behind these hurdles. The second module, “Assessment and Referrals” contains many external links to critical information such as ADL’s, IADL’s, and Cognition. Furthermore, this module leads a user to explore the many options available to caregivers and medical professionals alike. The final module, “Environmental Geriatric Interventions,” exposes the Medicare and Medicaid options for aides, home modifications/improvements, and equipment. This module also highlights, in great clarity and detail thanks to the 3-D and animated aspects of the course, the specific changes that will create a safe and comfortable home environment for older adults living in their own home. Overall, Environmental Geriatrics is packed with information, albeit simple and user friendly, it provides an interactive and fun educational experience. It can be found right here on POGOe, and I highly suggest Environmental Geriatrics for all disciplines and learning audiences.
