A qualitative examination of the challenges and needs during hospital discharge for people with lived experience of homelessness
People with lived or living experiences of homelessness (PWLEH) have higher rates of chronic and acute health problems and present to hospitals at a higher rate than their housed counterparts. Limited research has explored how PWLEH characterize their own discharge experiences. To improve hospital discharge processes and policies for PWLEH, this qualitative study conducted a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 20 PWLEH in Metro V…
Open Door” to Community Connected Pathways for Integrated Care
Introduction/Background: During the height of the pandemic, social and health service partners of the Mid-West Toronto Ontario Health Team (MWT-OHT) rallied in response to low vaccine uptake in four high priority neighbourhoods. Building on the success of this community connected and partner driven strategy, we present our expanded model "Open-Door/ Porte Ouverte as both a concept and service delivery model which serves to strengthen pathways to …
Shelter/housing options, supports and interventions for older people experiencing homelessness
While experiences of later-life homelessness are known to vary, classification of shelter, housing and service models that meet the diverse needs of older people with experiences of homelessness (OPEH) are limited. To address this gap, a scoping review was conducted of shelter/housing options, supports and interventions for OPEH. Fourteen databases were searched for English-language peer-reviewed and/or empirical literature published between 1999…
Conceptualizing the shelter and housing needs and solutions of homeless older adults
Estimates of the number of homeless older adults are highly variable, but the proportion is expected to increase in Western countries as the general population ages. Much of the current literature on homelessness among older adults focuses on the causes of homelessness in later life, along with the health outcomes and service needs of this population. However, there is a dearth of research investigating potential shelter/housing solutions specifi…
Design Considerations for the Development and Implementation of a Medical Respite for Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness in Metro Vancouver
BACKGROUND: Older persons with lived or living experience of homelessness (PWLEs) often live with complex physical and/or mental health conditions which are challenged by poor access to health services, especially primary care. To fill the gap in the continuum of care following hospital discharge for PWLEs, medical respite provides health and shelter support for PWLEs who do not have acute care needs that qualify for a stay in a hospital bed, yet…
Identifying Shelter and Housing Models for Older People Experiencing Homelessness
Limited research has identified the types of shelter/housing and supports for the growing population of older people experiencing homelessness (OPEH) and the extent to which existing models align with their needs. To redress this gap, we conducted an environmental scan and three World Café workshops to identify and characterize shelter/housing models for OPEH in Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver (Canada). Fifty-two models were identified and categ…
