Today, we are thrilled to unveil a refreshed look for The SCAN Foundation, complete with a new logo and redesigned website, that reflects our evolving approach, our strategic priorities, and a renewed urgency to shape policies and programs that allow older adults to age well at home and in community.
There’s so much more to do—and we’re just getting started.
Across the United States, older adults face significant barriers to aging with dignity and purpose. For many, particularly those who have been historically underrepresented and underserved, the promise of aging well remains out of reach. Consider just a few examples:
- People dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid experience fragmented, uncoordinated care and services that sometimes lead to worse health.
- Older adults in rural areas often struggle to access even the most basic services and supports.
- Coverage for home- and community-based care is limited; many older adults make too much to be eligible for Medicaid but find long-term care unaffordable – these “forgotten middle” have few viable solutions coming from the public or private sectors.
- At the heart of our work are the voices of older adults. By truly listening and centering their diverse experiences, we’re pushing for policies and programs shaped by what they say they need. As you click through our new website, you’ll find data, research, tools, and powerful stories that illuminate their experiences – and the solutions that can help all of us age well.
Our website showcases our commitment to four key priorities:
- Affordable, accessible long-term care at home and in the community is essential for older adults to age well.
- Older adults’ health, daily activities, and overall well-being are all interconnected. Medicare needs to reflect this reality.
- People dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid deserve coordinated, high-quality care that reflects their health and social needs.
- States and the nation should work to develop cross-sector plans that embed aging in every system.
We’re excited to unveil our refreshed website, a space that better reflects who we are and the work we do. Here, you’ll find stories from our grantee and investment partners, and a clearer view of how we’re advancing bold, equitable change for older adults.

Together, we can create a future where all older adults can age well with dignity, purpose, and possibility.
