Abstract
  • Aging adults underutilized MonTECH services, an assistive technology loan program, and were at risk of diminished well-being and quality of life in their homes. The capstone student developed a program that enhanced aging in place by incorporating assistive technology (AT) to expand MonTECH services to the older adult population who live in an assisted living facility. A total of eight (n = 8) residents from a local assisted living facility volunteered to complete three sessions with an occupational therapy (OT) student to address barriers to occupational performance and borrow AT. Each participant completed a pre and post-survey to assess AT perceptions and utilization. Most participants had positive perceptions and frequently used AT. Survey outcomes demonstrated comfort levels with AT increased by approximately 12%. Furthermore, older adults used and recommended MonTECH services to others. Keywords: aging in place, older adults, assistive technology
