About this Promising Practice
Older adults in New Brunswick’s rural communities have limited access to preventative, team-based primary healthcare services.
The Staying Healthy Clinic is a nurse-led, team-based primary healthcare service for older adults with chronic conditions and/or at risk of declining health. The clinic provides older adults with health services and information to help improve their skills and confidence to: manage their chronic condition, prevent health decline, falls, and learn how to access community resources to help them age safely at home. For patients at risk for frailty, the primary care team develops a care plan with self-management support interventions and provides ongoing case management for up to six months. The clinic currently operates out of the Central Miramichi Community Health Centre in rural New Brunswick and can be accessed by self-referral and/or referral from a healthcare team member."
