Anna S. Beeber

"We must combat the current stereotypes of aging to create new models and structures of care for older adults...I hope to contribute to the care of community residing older adults by conducting research on the event of entry into health care services so that we may gain a better understanding how older adults are assessed and enrolled in services.
