What is an Age-Friendly Health System?
Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) aim to simplify the care of complex older adults by organizing it into the 4Ms Framework (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility). Age-Friendly Health Systems:
• Follow an essential set of evidence-based practices (known as the 4Ms);
• Cause no harm; and
• Align with What Matters to the older adult and family caregivers.
This model incorporates the 4Ms into existing care, rather than adding more work. Nearly 700 nursing homes across the nation have been recognized.  Maine has an active Age Friendly Group you can join and learn from your peers.
