Navigating health and social services becomes more challenging as we age. And our system often fails to support the health, vitality, and well-being of older adults in California. With a bold idea about how to better understand the drivers of older adult health, Archstone Foundation partnered with RAND, a nonprofit global policy think tank, to develop what we call an action framework.
The interactive online framework, launched this month, provides a detailed picture of the current health and well-being of the state’s older population – including data and trends over time – to help point the way toward transformational progress. It highlights specific actions that funders, policymakers, and advocates can take to help achieve equitable, coordinated care for older adults and their caregivers.
