Age Isn't Just A Number: Outcomes Among Adults Aging with Disability

Friday December 6, 2024 4:35pm - 5:30pm CST

2ND Floor - Foster 1

As the U.S. population rapidly ages, it is critical that systems are in place to meet the ever-diversifying needs of people receiving services. National Core Indicatorsâ€”Aging and Disabilitiesâ„¢ (NCI-ADâ„¢) Adult Consumer Survey (ACS) illuminate health and service outcomes among people aging with disabilities. We will discuss the current state of healthcare access and prevalence of long-term health conditions that impact this group, as well as how outcomes differ by demographic characteristics. In particular, we will delve into critical social determinants such as food insecurity, relationships, and community access that have unique and compounding effects on aging and disability. Information presented will enhance understanding of ways to support healthy aging and anticipate trends among those using long-term services and supports (LTSS) that are critical to build and maintain person-centered systems of supports.
