Helping improve the lives of 40 million older adults by 2030.
Über uns
Since 1950, we’ve walked beside generations of Americans. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. At NCOA, we deliver the resources, digital tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security. Because aging well for all is a matter of equity. A matter of dignity. And a matter of justice.

It’s Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week!🎉 As the week wraps up, we want to share a heartfelt ‘thank you’ with all the DSPs who provide essential services and supports for people with #Disabilities, in the form of job coaching, activities of daily living, skills training, and more. These individuals are vital to helping those with disabilities live in their home and community. Funded by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), the Direct Care Workforce Strategies Center is working to address the critical shortage of #DirectCare workers across the country, including DSPs and professionals who provide care to #OlderAdults and others.

#ArtificialIntelligence has the power to transform our lives in positive ways.
