Abstract
Satellite clinics in three apartment buildings for seniors and disabled adults bring primary health care services to individuals who might otherwise be reluctant to use them. A clinical nurse specialist, social worker, and physician work as a team to help clients remain functional and continue to live independently. Health education programs, counseling, and the staff's familiarity with the clients' milieus contribute to a comprehensive wellness-oriented service.Keywords
