RAAN PROGRAM SUMMARY AND EVALUATION
Lutheran Services in America’s Rural Aging Action Network (RAAN) Program Summary and Evaluation report describes the innovative and successful RAAN approach to mobilizing whole communities and empowering older adults who want to age independently at home in rural communities.
As the number of older adults aging in rural communities continues to grow, there is a need for relevant rural solutions like RAAN that meet the unique needs and build on the unique strengths of rural communities. This report includes highlights such as the RAAN approach framework, key steps to implementing the program, and the program’s benefits as shared by older adults, caregivers, and community partners.
This report also includes the evaluation framework and findings conducted by our partners at the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston from focus groups and interviews with older adults, family caregivers, and community partners and data analysis of program measurements.
Find a summary of the lessons learned in this report. For further information or to partner with Lutheran Services in America Rural Aging Action Network, please contact Regan McManus.
