Native Aging in Place Project (NAPP)
The
Native Aging in Place Project (NAPP) works with the
Spirit Lake
Nation to build local capacity to care for the
community's Elders while they remain in their homes. The
project engages community connections and utilizes the
National Resource Center on Native American Aging's
Native Elder Caregiver Curriculum to train caregivers
and health professionals on providing care for Elders who
live at home.
The Native Aging in Place Project:
- Develops templates, models, and best practices in helping Native Elders age in place.
- Helps fill a need for healthcare workers, family members, and friends to be trained in caregiving for Native Elders.
NAPP is funded by Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies.
