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.
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.
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.
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.

Apoyo a los estados para prepararse ante el desafío de la atención a largo plazo: Lecciones del estado de Washington
State-level advancement of LTC financing policy has long-stalled for a number of reasons, including a lack of knowledge about how best to design, advocate for, and shepherd a program to implementation. During this two-year project, Dr. Veghte will utilize research and stakeholder interviews, drawing upon his experience standing up WA Cares (the only existing state-based LTC financing program), to develop and disseminate six tactical toolkits to assist state efforts to conceptualize, build, and grow support for long-term care programs.
