Advocacy n4a advocates on behalf of older adults, caregivers,

people with disabilities and the aging professionals

who assist them. n4a is the advocacy voice for

AAAs and Title VI Native American aging programs,

and works to advance policies that effectively and

efficiently address the needs of aging America. n4a's

policy priorities include the reauthorization of the

Older Americans Act, enhancing the health of older

adults, preserving the safety net programs (Medicare,

Medicaid and Social Security) and developing livable

communities' initiatives and mobility options for

seniors.

While continually monitoring the big picture of aging

policy, programs and services, n4a’s heart remains

at the local level, where older adults and caregivers

benefit immeasurably from the services that AAAs and

Title VI aging programs provide.

Actionn4a trains, prepares and honors aging leaders and

professionals. n4a is working consistently to create

leaders and system-wide excellence throughout the

Aging Network. Challenges such as the aging of the

boomers, limited funding available for services, and

the significant health and long-term care needs that

the aging population requires demand excellence in

leadership and specialized training. n4a has launched

the following efforts to ensure local aging leaders

and their organizations are ready to face an aging

population and are recognized for the work they do:

TRAIN AND PREPARE

▶ n4a Leadership Institute—Held annually and

supported by corporate partners (Harmony and

Bateman Senior Meals), the Leadership Institute

prepares the country’s local aging leaders for

boomers entering the aging service system, while

also preparing the network for the challenge of losing

local leaders to retirement.

▶ Capacity Building—n4a, in partnership with Scripps

Gerontology Center at Miami University, heads

a multifaceted initiative involving surveys of the

network to assess capacity and provides technical

assistance tools to support capacity development of

the network to expand home and community-based

options for older persons and/or their caregivers.

▶ Aging and Disability Partnership for Managed

Long-term Services and Supports (MLTSS)—n4a,

in partnership with other aging and disability

organizations is leveraging the resources of both

networks’ extensive infrastructure, service capacity

and experience to ensure the delivery of high-quality

MLTSS.

HONOR

▶ Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards—n4a

and sponsor CST-LTL recognize excellence through

this annual awards program. The most innovative and

successful aging services programs are honored and

shared as best practices so they can be replicated by

the Aging Network, where applicable.

▶ Excellence in Leadership Award—n4a honors

excellence among individual aging leaders with this

annual award. This is the highest honor existing for

local aging leaders.

ADVOCACY. ACTION. ANSWERS ON AGING.


Answers on Agingn4a provides Answers on Aging to consumers and

professionals. These initiatives provide outreach and

education through the network of local AAAs and

Title VI Native American aging programs that help

older adults remain in their homes and communities,

including the following outreach strategies:

▶ Eldercare Locator—In partnership with and funded

through a grant from AoA, n4a administers a state-

of-the-art national call center to connect older adults

and caregivers to AAAs, Title VI aging programs and

other trusted resources in their communities. The call

center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m.

to 8:00 p.m. ET and offers information on long-term

care alternatives, transportation options, caregiver

issues and government benefits eligibility.

▶ Consumer Reports Partnerships—In partnership

with Consumers Union, n4a provides new, free

resources targeted to older adults and professionals

to assist in making informed prescription drug

decisions and care transitions.

▶ The Aging Network's Volunteer Collaborative—

The Collaborative is a virtual resource center offering

the latest strategies, principles and practices that are

producing an 8:1 return on investment for agencies

committed to change how they think about and

utilize volunteers to meet the increasing demand for

services across the Aging Network.

▶ AGEcomm—n4a’s AGEcomm is an e-learning

website for professionals who work in aging and

community living. This interactive site contains

resources, learning opportunities, trends and forums

to interact with peers and much more.

▶ Diabetes Care Center—n4a partnered with the

National Health Index to win the Sanofi Data Design

Diabetes Innovation Challenge. The n4a/NMQF/NHI

team has developed a robust, high-touch diabetes

management program that is targeting specific

patient profiles where the data shows we can achieve

the best health outcomes, slow the progression

of the disease migration and, as a result, make

significant reductions in health care costs.

▶ National Center on Senior Transportation (NCST)—

In partnership with Easter Seals and other partners,

n4a provides technical assistance to professionals

at the local and state levels to improve and expand

transportation options that help older adults live

more independently in their communities. NCST also

conducts research and provides demonstration grants

to learn about and advance transportation options for

older adults.

▶ Pilot and Demonstration Grants—In partnership

with corporate entities and other organizations, n4a

works to provide a vehicle to test, document and

share best practices through local AAAs and Title VI

aging programs. Pilots include outreach to hard-

to-reach populations for Low-Income Subsidies,

collaborative senior transportation solutions and

fitness programs.

▶ Livable Communities—n4a is instrumental in the

development of a number of initiatives to coordinate

access to services and supports to communities

and local agencies taking action to make their

communities livable for all ages. A sample of

resources and technical assistance include: Maturing

of America (MetLife Foundation), a national survey of

city and county governments to assess their aging

readiness, including a benchmarking survey to assess

progress after five years; a Blueprint for Action:

Developing a Livable Community for All Ages (MetLife

Foundation), a resource guide for local leaders; and

the development of Learning Collaboratives to assist

communities plan and implement aging in place

strategies.
