Book excerpt: The OAA was enacted to help older adults remain in their homes and communities. In FY 2008, about 5% of the nation's adults 60 and over received key aging services through Title III of the OAA, incl. meals and home-based care. Studies project large increases in the number of adults who will be eligible for services in the future amid likely gov't. budget constraints. This report determined: (1) what is known about the need for home- and community-based services like those funded by OAA and the potential unmet need for these services; (2) how have agencies used their funds, including Recovery Act funds, to meet program objectives, and (3) how gov't. and local agencies measured need and unmet need.

Book excerpt: The Older Americans Act of 1965 (OAA) was enacted to, among other things, help older adults remain in their homes and communities. Programs authorized and funded by OAA Title III grants provide assistance to older adults, including congregate and home-delivered meals, home-based care, and transportation services. All people age 60 and older are eligible for services. In FY 2014, approx. $1.156 billion was provided in grants to states for home and community-based services. As Congress considers reauthorization of the OAA, if current trends continue, the number of adults who need these services may continue to increase with the retirement of the baby boom generation. This report examines what is known about older Americans' reported need for home and community-based services like those funded by the OAA and the potential unmet need for these services. Tables.

Book Synopsis Funding for the Older Americans Act and Other Aging Services Programs by : Angela Napili
Download or read book Funding for the Older Americans Act and Other Aging Services Programs written by Angela Napili and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Older Americans Act (OAA) is the major federal vehicle for the delivery of social and nutrition services for older persons. These include supportive services, congregate nutrition services (meals served at group sites such as senior centers, schools, churches, or senior housing complexes), home-delivered nutrition services, family caregiver support, community service employment, the long-term care ombudsman program, and services to prevent the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older persons. The OAA also supports grants to older Native Americans and research, training, and demonstration activities. The Administration on Aging (AOA) in the newly established Administration for Community Living (ACL), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers most OAA programs. The exception is the Community Service Employment for Older Americans (CSEOA) program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The ACL also administers several aging services programs authorized under the Public Health Service Act, such as the Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program and the Lifespan Respite Care Program. Funding for OAA programs and other aging services is provided through appropriations legislation for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS-Education). FY2012 funding for OAA programs totals $1.913 billion, 1% less than in FY2011. The President's FY2013 budget request proposes $1.907 billion for OAA programs, 0.3% less than the FY2012 level. The President's budget proposal would eliminate $6.5 million in discretionary OAA funding for Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) also funded by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148, as amended). The Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (CR; P.L. 112-175) became law on September 28, 2012. For most discretionary programs, including OAA programs, the CR continues funding at close to FY2012 levels. The CR provides funding for October 1, 2012, through March 27, 2013, although amounts may change depending on whether certain actions, such as sequestration, are taken pursuant to the Budget Control Act (P.L. 112-25) and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA, P.L. 112-240). Since the enactment of OAA, Congress has reauthorized and amended the act numerous times. In the past, OAA reauthorization has included extending the act's authorization of appropriations for a five-year period. The last OAA reauthorization occurred in 2006, when Congress enacted the Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006 (P.L. 109-365), which extended the act's authorization of appropriations for FY2007 through FY2011. The authorization of appropriations for most OAA programs expired at the end of FY2011. However, Congress has continued to appropriate funding for OAA authorized activities. In the 112th Congress, comprehensive OAA reauthorization legislation was introduced which would extend the authorization of appropriations for most OAA programs through FY2017 and would make various amendments to existing OAA authorities. This report provides details of FY2011, FY2012, and FY2013 funding for OAA authorized activities, as well as for other aging services programs administered by ACL under other statutory authorities.

This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress passed the Older Americans Act (OAA) in 1965 in response to concern by policymakers about a lack of community social services for older persons. The original legislation established authority for grants to States for community planning and social services, research and development projects, and personnel training in the field of aging. The law also established the Administration on Aging (AoA) to administer the newly created grant programs and to serve as the Federal focal point on matters concerning older persons. Although older individuals may receive services under many other Federal programs, today the OAA is considered to be the major vehicle for the organization and delivery of social and nutrition services to this group and their caregivers. It authorizes a wide array of service programs through a national network of 56 State agencies on aging, 629 area agencies on aging, nearly 20,000 service providers, 244 Tribal organizations, and 2 Native Hawaiian organizations representing 400 Tribes. The OAA also includes community service employment for low-income older Americans; training, research, and demonstration activities in the field of aging; and vulnerable elder rights protection activities. This book offers an unofficial compilation of the OAA, an outline of changes made to the OAA at the most recent reauthorization (2006), a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the OAA and other related sources of information/data. This book is intended to serve as a resource for professionals working in aging services.

This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Older Americans Act (OAA) is the major federal vehicle for the delivery of social and nutrition services for older persons. These include supportive services, congregate nutrition services (meals served at group sites such as senior centers, schools, churches, or senior housing complexes), home-delivered nutrition services, family caregiver support, community service employment, the long-term care ombudsman program, and services to prevent the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older persons. The OAA also supports grants to older Native Americans as well as research, training, and demonstration activities. The Administration on Aging (AOA)-a program office under the Administration for Community Living (ACL) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)-administers most OAA programs. The exception is the Community Service Employment for Older Americans (CSEOA) program, also known as the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), which is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Title I of the OAA sets out broad social policy objectives oriented toward improving the lives of all older Americans. Title II establishes AOA within HHS as the chief federal agency advocating for older persons and sets out the responsibilities of AOA and the Assistant Secretary for Aging. It also establishes State and Territorial Units on Aging (SUAs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), which, along with local providers, comprise the Aging Network. Title III authorizes grants to SUAs and AAAs to act as advocates on behalf of, and to coordinate programs for, older persons, including nutrition services programs to seniors. Title IV authorizes the Assistant Secretary for Aging to award funds for training, research, and demonstration projects in the field of aging. Title V, CSEOA, has as its purpose the promotion of useful part-time opportunities in community service activities for unemployed low-income older individuals. Title VI authorizes funds for supportive and nutrition services to older Native Americans. Funds are awarded directly by ACL to Indian tribal organizations, Native Alaskan organizations, and nonprofit groups representing Native Hawaiians. Title VII authorizes the Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman Program as well as Elder Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Prevention Programs. The OAA has been reauthorized and amended numerous times since it was first enacted in 1965. P.L. 114-144 (S. 192, 114th Congress), the Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2016, was signed into law on April 19, 2016. The act authorizes appropriations for OAA programs through FY2019. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 115-31) provided discretionary appropriations for OAA programs, projects, and activities under ACL's Aging and Disability Services Programs budget authority and the Department of Labor budget authority at an estimated total of $1.888 billion for FY2017, which is $26.8 million (1.4%) less than FY2016 levels. This report provides an overview of the Older Americans Act. It briefly describes the act's titles, highlighting selected provisions followed by FY2017 appropriations and a funding history.

This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Older Americans Act (OAA) was enacted to help older adults remain in their homes and communities. In fiscal year 2008, about 5 percent of the nation's adults 60 and over received key aging services through Title III of the OAA, including meals and home-based care. In fiscal year 2010, states received $1.4 billion to fund Title III programs. Studies project large increases in the number of adults who will be eligible for services in the future and likely government budget constraints. In advance of program reauthorization scheduled for 2011, GAO was asked to determine: (1) what is known about the need for home- and community-based services like those funded by OAA and the potential unmet need for these services; (2) how have agencies used their funds, including Recovery Act funds, to meet program objectives, and (3) how government and local agencies measured need and unmet need. To do this, GAO analyzed national self-reported data; surveyed a random sample of 125 local agencies; reviewed agency documents; and spoke with officials from the Administration on Aging (AoA) and state and local agencies.

Download or read book The Mental Health and Substance Use Workforce for Older Adults written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least 5.6 million to 8 million-nearly one in five-older adults in America have one or more mental health and substance use conditions, which present unique challenges for their care. With the number of adults age 65 and older projected to soar from 40.3 million in 2010 to 72.1 million by 2030, the aging of America holds profound consequences for the nation. For decades, policymakers have been warned that the nation's health care workforce is ill-equipped to care for a rapidly growing and increasingly diverse population. In the specific disciplines of mental health and substance use, there have been similar warnings about serious workforce shortages, insufficient workforce diversity, and lack of basic competence and core knowledge in key areas. Following its 2008 report highlighting the urgency of expanding and strengthening the geriatric health care workforce, the IOM was asked by the Department of Health and Human Services to undertake a complementary study on the geriatric mental health and substance use workforce. The Mental Health and Substance Use Workforce for Older Adults: In Whose Hands? assesses the needs of this population and the workforce that serves it. The breadth and magnitude of inadequate workforce training and personnel shortages have grown to such proportions, says the committee, that no single approach, nor a few isolated changes in disparate federal agencies or programs, can adequately address the issue. Overcoming these challenges will require focused and coordinated action by all.
