Building Resilience: Aging Infrastructure in a Changing World

The largest generation in human history is aging. There is currently not sufficient infrastructure to support them as they age, and it’s imperative to ensure that everyone has equitable access to resources.

In this white paper, we cover infrastructure issues like recent uncertainties with social safety nets like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security; accessibility in the mental and behavioral health spaces; combating isolation, one of the biggest issues for older adults; and how to reach these individuals to align them with the services they need and help them stay connected with the world.
