This paper will include an overview of some of the characteristics of community development and a description of the community development project. The methods used to evaluate the project will be
presented along with results of the qualitative evaluation. Finally, some insights and implications are offered for gerontological nurses who may be
engaged in similar community development projects involving older persons.
