As community residents age, service delivery systems may not be equipped to meet their changing needs. The Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) model has emerged as a strategy to utilize existing resources and develop a comprehensive approach to maintaining older adult functional status. However, little has been written about how community capacity influences NORC implementation. A community capacity framework was used to analyze the themes that emerged from participant and service provider interviews at two diverse NORC sites. The findings revealed that perceptions of a sense of community and partnership management influenced the NORC experience for participants and providers.
随着社区居民年龄的增长，服务提供系统可能无法满足他们不断变化的需求。自然形成的退休社区（NORC）模式已成为一种利用现有资源并制定全面方法来维持老年人功能状态的策略。然而，关于社区能力如何影响NORC实施的论述甚少。一个社区能力框架被用于分析在两个不同的NORC地点从参与者和服务提供者访谈中出现的主题。研究结果表明，社区感和伙伴关系管理的认知影响了参与者和提供者的NORC体验。
