LifeSTEPS believes in the strong connection between housing and health, especially for the benefit of our older adult residents and the healthcare workforce. We’re proud that our partner USA Properties Fund, Inc. designates two of its senior apartment communities in Carmichael and Citrus Heights as community health sites for nursing students from California State University-Sacramento, Samuel Merritt University and the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis.

A Master’s Entry Program nursing student recently completed her summer rotation and shared “During these visit visits, we utilize active listening and motivational interviewing to build rapport as well as help the residents find the motivation they need to make the changes that they wish to see in their lives.”
