Home- and community-based services (HCBS) support aging in place by developing care plans based on assessment of disability and the safety and accessibility of homes, but these assessments mostly ignore environmental health hazards, such as poor air quality (PM2.5, CO2, radon) and mold, which are commonly reported by residents. To address this problem, the University of Pittsburgh’s Healthy Home Lab (HHL) developed an air quality assessment and mitigation program, the Healthy Home Assessment Tool (H-HAT), in partnership with four regional HCBS agencies. H-HAT includes assessor observations, resident appraisals, consumer-grade indoor air quality monitoring, pathogen and mold analysis (DNA species extracted from dust) . In a pilot with 43 low-income older adult (median age 75) households, 23% reported mold odor, and water damage was observed in 48.7%. While EPA standards for indoor air quality are evolving, almost all homes had PM2.5 values over 9 ug/m3 . Fungal species with potential clinical significance were also identified. Care managers at the agencies received a packet reporting H-HAT results, which they discussed with residents. The care managers found the reports useful, which in some cases led them to alter care plans. Residents received resources for mitigation as well as an air purifier as part of the program. Follow-up assessments will determine success for mitigation and help in the design of wider dissemination.","cbCaioEMBUepRJ24","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioEMBUepRJ24","pdf",47712,"English","# Background and problem\n# Healthy Home Assessment Tool (H-HAT)\n## Assessment components\n# Pilot results and outcomes\n## Mold and water damage\n## Air quality findings\n# Care manager reporting and mitigation support\n# Next steps for dissemination","[{\"question\":\"What is aging in place and how do HCBS services support it?\",\"answer\":\"Aging in place is an older adult’s ability to carry out daily activities safely and independently within home and community.
