The prevalence of diabetes and its complications has increased among older adults, and new models of care are needed to combat this trend among vulnerable populations. According to the Chronic Care Model (CCM), optimal chronic illness care requires linkages with community-based resources. Research based upon the CCM suggests that self-management support for older adults with diabetes may be bolstered by linkages between primary care providers and senior centers, but studies of such linkages are rare.
