Collaborative Initiatives that Help Our Communities Become More Age and Dementia Friendly
JoAnn M. Burke, Ph.D., LCSW, LMFT, BSN Chair, Indiana Commission on Aging There are rising numbers of older adults needing care and little political interest in raising taxes to pay for care for low-income older adults. Currently, 62% of nursing home beds in Indiana are funded by Medicaid. By 2024, Indiana Medicaid is targeting that only 25% of those older adults who meet the criteria will be directed toward nursing home care. The other 75% will receive services in home and community-based settings. We need to help our older adults, their families, and our local communities become prepared for more older adults with functional and cognitive limitations living in the community. Nurses have a long history of wanting to improve the quality of life in communities. FCNs are uniquely positioned to address this emerging public health concern. | ||
