Dr. Shellman's program of research currently funded by the Hartford Foundation involves testing the use of integrative reminiscence to decrease depression in older adults.
While at the University of Connecticut, she was instrumental in the development of the award winning CARELINK model of care for older adults in the community. In this community-university partnership nursing students, during their community health practicum, provide services to older adults no longer eligible for compensated care through the regular visiting nurse services. CARELINK, has been noted as one of the top 20 community-university partnership programs by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and has been successfully replicated by the Visiting Nurse Service of New York and NYU. She presently serves as a consultant to agencies and academic institutions throughout Connecticut in the development of community-university partnerships.
