This book was released on 2012 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The populations of the United States (US) and Michigan are aging. This demographic trend will continue to have a significant impact on society for the next few decades, particularly in the area of safe mobility in rural areas. As the population of Michigan's rural older adults continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly crucial that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) understand the mobility needs and issues of rural older adults, including the issues faced by Indian Tribes in rural Michigan, and be proactive in addressing these needs and issues in their activities. This project provides the background and suggestions to help MDOT identify areas where they significantly impact the safe mobility of Michigan's rural older adults. The overall goal of the project is to help maintain the safety and well-being of Michigan's rural older adult residents by providing recommendations on how current alternative transportation services could be improved to be more attractive to older adults while addressing cultural and psychological barriers to using these services. This goal was achieved through a literature review, an analysis of demographic data, a statewide survey of older adults living in six rural counties of Michigan, structured interviews with public and community transportation providers, and group discussions with representatives of three Indian Tribes located in rural Michigan. The complete results of these research activities, a list of recommendations for improving rural older adult mobility in Michigan, and an implementation plan are included in this report.

Book Synopsis Safer Drivers Smart Options by : David W. Eby
Download or read book Safer Drivers Smart Options written by David W. Eby and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of Michigan is growing older. Older adults age 60 or older will represent about 25% of Michigan's population by 2030. Older adults consider mobility and independence to be essential aspects of maintaining quality of life. In response to this pressing societal issue, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) sought to plan, test, and implement an effective, sustainable statewide safety education and intervention strategy for helping drivers age 60 or older continue driving for as long they can safely do so, retire from driving when appropriate, and stay safely mobile after stopping driving. MDOT's vision was to have an integrated statewide strategy that promoted practices for older adult mobility targeted at the older adults themselves, the families and friends of older adults, and the professionals that work with these two groups on transportation and mobility issues. The strategy was envisioned to be comprised of three components: education, direct intervention, and administration/collaboration. MDOT contracted with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) to perform a variety of activities to assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the strategy in a three-phase (3 year) project. In Phase 1, potential models and design alternatives for a sustainable statewide strategy were identified. In Phase 2, the strategy elements were developed, tested, and named Safe Drivers Smart Options (SDSO): Keys to Lifelong Mobility. In Phase 3, the strategy was implemented and evaluated. The development and initial implementation of the SDSO has been a success, despite the relatively low awareness of SDSO among Michigan's older adults and informal caregivers at this time. Recommendations for SDSO continued implementation are presented.

Book Synopsis The Future of Disability in America by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book The Future of Disability in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.

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.
