ALABAMA AGRICULTURE AND MECHANICAL UNIVERSITY
Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) is a public, historically black land-grant university founded in 1875. It is an educational institution and not a senior care facility. The address provided is the main campus address in Normal, Alabama. The university does not offer residential housing or direct care services for seniors such as assisted living or skilled nursing. However, AAMU is actively involved in the field of geriatrics and senior well-being through two primary initiatives. The first is the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), which is designed to educate and train healthcare professionals and supportive care workers in providing care for older adults. This program collaborates with community partners to integrate geriatrics with primary care, aiming to improve health outcomes for older adults, including those with dementia. The GWEP offers web-based learning and an apprenticeship program for community health workers to strengthen the geriatric workforce. The second initiative is the Virginia Caples Lifelong Learning Institute (VCLLI). The VCLLI's mission is to provide a stimulating educational, social, and life-enhancing environment for senior adults and their caregivers. It offers a variety of in-person and virtual courses, workshops, and conferences on topics relevant to successful aging. The institute engages in research and advocacy to advance the theme of “successful aging.” Membership and participation in many of the VCLLI's programs are open to the public.
