Abstract
The care of older adults who wish to spend their old age at home should be regulated in every country. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the steps for developing a community-based care process model (CBCPM), applied to a real-world phenomenon, using an inductive, theory-generative research approach to enable aging at home. The contribution to practice is that the collaboration team experts facilitate the application of the process in their own work as non-professional human resources. This means that each older adult is his or her own case study. Different experts and non-experts can engage in the process of meeting needs as required. The empirical work examined the number of levels and steps required and the types of human resources needed. The proposed typology of the CBCPM for older adults can provide insight, offer a useful framework for future policy development, and evaluate pilots at a time when this area of legislation is being implemented.

An illustration of the Level Cycles and Phase Steps of the communitybased care process model (CBCPM) compared to the basic Boehm model with four basic phase steps (P1 —identify, P2 —evaluate, P3 —develop, P4 —plan) is shown above (Figure 1)
The steps of each level of the CBCPM are repeated in a specific order and according to the competencies of the stakeholders involved in the process
Summary
The care of older adults who wish to spend their old age at home should be regulated in every country. The contribution to practice is that the collaboration team experts facilitate the application of the process in their own work as nonprofessional human resources. This means that each older adult is his or her own case study. The empirical work examined the number of levels and steps required and the types of human resources needed. The aging population has come into focus as a cause for concern as it is expected that the way people work and retire will change in order to maintain themselves. If a population is expected to live longer than previous generations, the economy must change to be able, and be required, to meet the needs of citizens. Policy-makers wanted to review the foundations established so far, especially when entering the system or assessing the needs of individuals, and when determining the entry threshold for potential recipients of long-term ijerph18115987
