Impulsamos mejoras en políticas, programas y sistemas mediante subvenciones para ayudar a las personas mayores a envejecer bien en sus hogares y comunidades. Nuestras subvenciones exploran soluciones que responden a las necesidades reales de las personas mayores, centrándose principalmente en lo que afirman necesitar quienes históricamente han sido excluidos de la toma de decisiones.

El costo del prejuicio: ¿Cuánto cuesta realmente discriminar a las personas en la prestación de servicios de atención médica?
Understanding how lived experience impacts how a person interacts with the delivery system provides an opportunity to highlight how systems might provide better care. This grant to UMass Boston will examine how various forms of perceived discrimination (e.g. racial, age, gender, weight, sexual orientation, physical disability, wealth, etc.) impact both older adults’ experiences with the health care system and any health care costs associated with those experiences within the delivery system. This work will result in a series of policy briefs.

Abordar las deficiencias en los sistemas de respuesta a emergencias para adultos mayores afectados por incendios forestales
Older adults and people with disabilities experienced significant barriers to safe evacuation during the Los Angeles wildfires. LeadingAge California analyzed the experiences of congregate living providers and residents during the emergency response. Based on this analysis, they produced recommendations to improve emergency preparedness and disaster response in the future.

Apoyo a planes multisectoriales para el envejecimiento Financiadores Comunidad
Multisector Plans for Aging (MPA) provide a framework for states to support and prepare for their growing population of older adults. This grant, with co-funding from West Health, Health Care Foundation of Western and Central NY, and Taub Foundation, will support a Grantmakers in Aging Funding Community to champion Multisector Plans for Aging (MPA). GIA will convene 22 funders who are exploring opportunities to support Multisector Plans for Aging in their state. The Community works to: 1) Increase awareness and understanding of MPA among the GIA network and the broader philanthropic community. 2) Create a formal community of practice to share information, strategies, and solutions related to MPA. 3) Cultivate relationships with new funders engaged through MPA efforts to expand and strengthen the GIA network and forge strategic partnerships across sectors.

Desarrollo de una estrategia rural nacional y reimaginación de la política rural para el siglo XXI
The Brookings Institution’s Reimagining Rural Policy initiative is launching a high-level bipartisan commission in partnership with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) to call attention to the unique challenges and opportunities in rural America and publish a National Rural Strategy presenting a vision for policymakers and other national leaders to support rural prosperity, resilience, and fairness in the 21st century. This project will ensure that older adults with lived experience, including The SCAN Foundation’s priority populations, will be included in the initiative’s research and featured in a National Rural Strategy that will be present to policymakers, decisionmakers, and the American public in mid-2027.

Additional technical assistance and education on Medicare is needed for states to continue to mature their integrated care understanding and capacity to serve dually eligible beneficiaries. This project continues support for the Medicare Academy, and will employ direct education to select new states that are ready and eager to advance their integrated care success at a time when the federal financial alignment demos are coming to an end. Products developed include state-specific training curriculum and related educational materials.

Plan Maestro de California para el Envejecimiento (MPA): Junta Asesora de Experiencias Vividas sobre el Envejecimiento y la Discapacidad (AD-LEAB)
Policies are often designed without input from the people most affected. Supported by the MPA Fund, Mandala Change Group, in partnership with the California Department of Aging (CDA), developed the Aging and Disability Lived Experience Advisory Board (AD-LEAB) to center the experiences and expertise of underserved and underrepresented older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers to address gaps in systems, programs, and services that further exacerbate inequities. At the end of the project, CDA will advance MPA priorities informed by lived experience, along with a replicable model.

Un lenguaje común es esencial para impulsar políticas eficaces de servicios domiciliarios y comunitarios (HCBS). A través de este proyecto, HSRI realizará un análisis del entorno nacional, incorporando diversas voces y sintetizando los hallazgos en una definición de HCBS. El objetivo de esta definición es promover la armonización de políticas, la promoción y la prestación de servicios, fortaleciendo así la eficacia, la equidad y la coordinación de los HCBS para las personas con necesidades de apoyo a largo plazo.

Estrategias para mejorar la atención a largo plazo: educar a los responsables de las políticas estatales
Affordability and access to long-term services and supports (LTSS) ensures older adults can remain in their homes and the community. This project aims to strengthen the capacity and efficiency of state legislatures to consider policy options and innovations to support aging individuals, particularly policies around long-term care financing. This will be accomplished through the development and dissemination of policy birefs, technical assistance, and a meeting of state legislatures.

Promoción de la atención integrada para poblaciones con doble elegibilidad
Integrated models of care ensure that older adults have access to and can afford high quality care. To promote promising models of integrated care in rural areas, plans need to encourage enrollment by making programs more responsive to consumer needs and increase the availability of these programs in rural areas. Through this project, CHCS will translate the Consumer Perspective into an Action Plan for States. The resulting toolkit will include actionable steps for states to take in: (1) designing or refining their integrated care programs, and (2) communicating with dually eligible populations and providers about the value of integrated care. Through exploring and identifying feasible options to improve provider access and coordinated care delivery for dually eligible populations in rural areas, states will learn to improve access to care.

Supporting older adults to be at the center of identifying issues and codesigning solutions to independence at home and in the community is a cornerstone of systems changes. To further advance systemic change through lived experience, the Center for Outcomes Research and Education (CORE) will create a Toolkit to support creation and operation of additional ECO Groups within and beyond California.

Rural older adults and people with disabilities face unique barriers to health care, long-term services and supports, and other vital services. To shed light on these barriers and identify solutions, Pauline DeLange Martinez with UC Davis led a team in analyzing qualitative data from rural communities. Based on this data, they developed three policy briefs that highlight key policy and program recommendations for aging well in rural communities.

Una agenda bipartidista sobre el envejecimiento y los cuidados a largo plazo: integrar la atención, mejorar la asequibilidad y dar voz a los consumidores
Este proyecto proporcionará perspectivas políticas e investigación basada en la evidencia para comprender mejor 1) cómo avanzar en políticas de atención integrada para beneficiarios con doble elegibilidad; 2) hacer que la atención a largo plazo sea más accesible y asequible para las personas mayores con ingresos bajos o moderados; y 3) ampliar la experiencia de consumo de las personas mayores para fundamentar las reformas políticas. El trabajo proporcionará vías prometedoras para un consenso bipartidista sobre reformas que impulsen un sistema de salud y atención al envejecimiento eficaz para todos.
