title: Richmond Instructive Nurse's Visiting Association: A Glimpse into the Care of Older Adults: 1900 to 1929
abstract: 1. In the beginning of the 20th century, the provision of nursing services to older adults took a lesser role behind the focus on communicable diseases and maternal and infant care. 2. The Instructive Visiting Nurse's Association records in Richmond, Virginia provide a snapshot into the delivery of home-based care to older adults from 1900 to 1929. 3. Financing care of the U.S. elderly population has been an ongoing issue for more than 100 years.
