Capstone # 3 EF

 

My capstone project is an environmental survey of 25 long-term care (LTC) service providers, pre-selected by VPAS, the regional Area Agency on Aging in the Central Shenandoah Valley; to determine the providers interest in adopting the No Wrong Door-Peer Place electronic community service record and using the Virginia Universal Assessment Instrument as a tool for strengthening the coordination, delivery, evaluation and planning of the region's LTC service infrastructure.
