This book was released on 2016 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minnesotans value education. Education is the largest financial investment in the state budget, and those investments place Minnesota students among the top performers in the nation. Still, substantial gaps in opportunity and performance persist. The three purposes of the needs assessment were to: (1) Describe infrastructure, capacity, and costs of program evaluation and educational assessment; (2) Identify unmet needs; and (3) Evaluate how "CAREI" might contribute a solution. This report summarized the findings of our study. It also provides a brief summary of how the "Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement" (CAREI) might be used to network and leverage personnel, expertise, and resources to solve pressing problems. "CAREI" can contribute to expand infrastructure and capacities that meet the needs of education in the state with a high return on investment.

Download or read book Retooling for an Aging America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

Book excerpt: Background: As they age, older adults are often forced to change their living environments to accommodate their growing medical and personal needs. However, alternative living options are often less desired and present other challenges. Aging in place is the ability for individuals to choose where they live as they age, prioritizing the aging person’s choice and providing resources to support it. Purpose: The Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota currently has a population of nearly 472,000 older individuals, and it is only continuing to rise. Although infrastructure exists that supports aging in place, not all older individuals get adequate services or any services at all. This needs-based assessment identifies the resources available for AIP in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the major barriers this population faces. Methods: A combination of a case study interview and non-systematic review of national and local resources was used to identify main themes of barriers for aging in place. This mixed approach was chosen to obtain specialized insight to the current resources and needs of the aging community in the Twin Cities metropolitan area while exploring the breadth of resources available at larger levels. Conclusions: Between national and local resources, the Twin Cities metropolitan area offers a number of services that help with ADLs, housing, healthcare and mental health, and financial assistance. Despite these services, there are still challenges with aging in place that prevent many older adults in the area from aging where and how they want. Five major themes were identified as barriers in place: 1) the cost of healthcare and mental health services, 2) limited affordable housing options, 3) the combination of inadequate infrastructure for accessible living spaces and transportation, 4) lack of adequate financial support, and 5) absence of adequate culturally specific services. These barriers are rooted in national systemic inequity and require a more equitable approach to address the challenges faced by older adults in the Twin Cities.
Download or read book Families Caring for an Aging America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Book excerpt: "The population is aging, not only in the United States, but also globally. As the Baby Boomers turn 65 years of age, America is experiencing an aging phenomenon it has never before seen. The Alzheimer’s Association (2015) estimates that the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease will reach 7.1 million (40% more than shown in prior estimates) by 2025, and by 2050, the number may triple to 13.8 million. A major shift in the demographics and growing health care and social needs of those aging will have major impacts on the economy, workforce, housing, health care system, social services, and civic institutions (Wilder Research 2015). There is an urgent need to respond to the rapid growth of the aging population and to incorporate age and dementia-friendliness in communities. This study was undertaken to determine if the residents of one small rural community, Fillmore County, Minnesota, perceived their county to be age and dementia-friendly. 22 people responded to a survey questionnaire which included questions about outdoor spaces and public building, transportation, housing, respect and social inclusion, community connectedness, communication and information, public safety and emergency planning, and community support and health services. Findings from this study supported the hypothesis that the residents of Fillmore County perceived their community to be age and dementia-friendly. Participants offered few suggestions on how to better Fillmore County but had little knowledge of the resources available to them. Opportunities exist to educate community members of Fillmore County about needed preparations to support an aging population and existing resources to support the health care and social needs of older adults."--leaf 4.
