With more than 600 workshops spanning over 50 content areas, Aging in America is the most comprehensive multi-

disciplinary conference on aging available anywhere. Our confer-ence community of more than 3,000 participants includes lead-ers in aging services, business, government, policy, education and research, in addition to professionals representing more than 150 product and service exhibiting firms.

This past year, our profession — and our nation — has seen landmark changes in health care and in older adult services, and Aging in America is the place to come for the related information, answers, fresh ideas, and new and renewed professional connections. At our last conference we explored the potential of health care reform. Now that potential is reality, and it has created the need for the field to better understand its impact and our changing roles. In 2011 Congress will consider reauthorization and amendments to the Older Americans Act, and Aging in America is a platform for drawing each of us into the conversation.

The conference will also feature Affiliated Organization Programs and ASA National Forums — half-day and full-day programs that

delve more deeply into select major issues. Many of these pro-grams require pre-registration and some require an additional fee. Please review the information on pages 8–18 and 23–29 before you register for the conference, so you can confirm your space in one or more of these programs.

As the demands to serve the needs of a rapidly growing older population stretch our hearts and our minds, Aging in America will provide you with new knowledge, refresh and expand your net-work, and inspire you to continue with your very important work.

The 2011 Aging in America Conference is brought to you by the American Society on Aging. For many years ASA and the Na-tional Council on Aging (NCOA) have presented this conference jointly. For 2011 and beyond, ASA is the conference host and organizer, and designer of the conference curriculum. NCOA is engaged in the meeting by presenting a series of public policy and other NCOA-program specific workshops in a two-day track described on pages 16-17. Our collaboration continues in a slightly different and effective way.

If your work touches the lives of older

adults in any way…

The Changing Face of America:

Aging in our Multicultural Society

Wednesday, April 27 | 3:00 – 4:30 pmSponsored by AARP

Multiculturalism allows people to truly express who they are in a society, and the social integration of our immigrant population is a hallmark value that we cherish as Americans. That integration brings with it social and policy implications that are of key con-cern to professionals in the field of aging. The facts and figures contained in the 2010 census will highlight for practitioners the challenges we face in the years ahead as we develop best practices and strategic approaches to aging in our multicultural society. The facts are astounding.

● Non-Hispanic whites will cease to be a majority in America, perhaps as soon as 2050.

● By mid-century the nation’s Hispanic population is expected to increase 188%.

● By 2050 the nation’s Asian population is expected to grow 213%.

● In only 50 years the nation’s black population is expected to grow 71%.

The changing demographics of our aging population brings with it new challenges that will test our established assumptions and force a need to reexamine best practices in the fields of aging. This session will focus on specific challenges facing practitioners as they tailor programs and policies to meet the unique circum-stances of diverse populations, including specific attention to chronic illnesses that affect different demographics, understand-

AoA and the Older Americans Act

Kathy Greenlee, the fourth Assistant Secretary for Aging at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will open this dy-namic general session. She will provide an up-date on current Administration on Aging plans to advance the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act in 2011 and the role she sees for the aging network in providing services to promote the quality of life for the aging popu-lation. She will touch upon the implementa-tion of the Affordable Care Act and what that means to us in our work with older adults.

ing the cultural norms of diverse groups that test the ability to carry out programs and manage caseloads, and an in-depth look at obstacles faced by older immigrants and their extended families in accessing programs and community services. This thought-pro-voking session will explore the conceptual nexus of aging and best practices to serve a multicultural population.

Moderator: Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez, Executive Vice President for Multicultural Markets & Engagement, AARP.

Presenters: Dr. Maya Rockeymoore, President and CEO, Global Policy Solutions LLC; Dr. Fernando Torres-Gil, AARP Board Member and past ASA Board Chair.

Social Security and Medicare

We have made great strides in protecting our nation’s older adults, yet the future of Social Security and Medicare hangs in the balance. What will these programs look like in 10 or 20 years? Barbara Kennelly, president and CEO of The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare and one of the foremost experts on the topic will address this topic and discuss legislative and advocacy ef-forts for these landmark federal programs.

This opening general session promises to be a stimulating beginning to the confer-ence that will have you reflecting on these critical questions for the next four days.

Having been engaged in the field from virtually every vantage point, caregiver, administrator, board member both local and na-tional, academic, policymaker, regulator and now as an older per-son, Charles Fahey will share experiences that have relevance for both today and tomorrow.

Presenter: Charles Fahey, Professor Emeritus Program Officer, Fordham University Milbank Memorial Fund.

The Evolving Role of SSI for Elders

Wednesday, April 27 | 1:00 – 2:30 pm

Over the last several decades the percentage of older people rely-ing on SSI has been decreasing for a variety of reasons including the greater participation of women in the workforce and the So-cial Security COLA. However, there is reason to believe that this decline is about to be reversed in part because of the increase in the Social Security normal retirement age currently underway, as well as the decline in private pensions. Changes in Social Security currently under consideration may exacerbate this trend. This ses-sion will reexamine the SSI program and consider what steps are needed to strengthen this essential element of the safety net for older Americans.

Presenters: Gerald McIntyre, Directing Attorney, National Senior Citizens Law Center; Paul Nathanson, JD, Executive Director, National Senior Citizens Law Center.

Remembering Maggie Kuhn: Her Economic

and Social Justice Radical Agenda

Thursday, April 28 | 8:00 – 9:30 am

The session will bring renewed energy and relevance to the teach-ings of a master community organizer, Maggie Kuhn. The present-ers were involved in the formative stages of the organization and Maggie’s philosophy of radical social change. We will explore her approaches to intergenerational advocacy, drama and street theater. We will discuss how the themes she talked about are still relevant today in the lives of the nation’s most vulnerable elders.

Presenters: Carroll Estes, PhD, Professor and Founding Director of the Institute for Health & Aging, University of California, San Fran-cisco; Stephen McConnell, The Atlantic Philanthropies, Aging and Policy Advocacy; Paul Nathanson, JD, Executive Director, National Senior Citizens Law Center.

Pharmaceutical Risk Management Initiatives

to Reduce Medication-Related Problems

Friday, April 29 | 10:00 – 11:30 am

While medications play a crucial role in the prevention, mainte-nance or cure of health conditions, they are frequently associated with medication-related problems (MRPs) including adverse reac-tions and interactions. When health care facilities and organiza-tions have inadequate medication use processes not only are se-niors in danger of MRPs, but there is a high risk of medicolegal action including civil liability or even criminal action. This presen-tation will describe MRPs, their causes and outcomes, and will dis-cuss practical initiatives to reduce this risk.

Moderator: John Feather, PhD, ASA Chair, Executive Director and CEO, American Society of Consultant Pharmacists.

Presenters: Albert Barber, PharmD, CGP, FASCP, Consulting Phar-macist, Clinical Rx Consulting; William Simonson, PharmD, FASCP, CGP, Independent Consultant Pharmacist.

Health Care Reform and Older Americans

Friday, April 29 | 3:00 – 4:00 pm

Three former ASA Chairs will discuss whether health care reform initiatives will transform chronic care or simply tweak a system that will remain focused on expensive, episodic care. Bringing per-spectives of geriatric medicine, hospital systems and senior living providers, the presenters will explore the impact of health care re-form on older persons.

Presenters: Joanne Handy, RN, MS, President and CEO, Aging Services of California; Robyn Golden, MA, LCSW, Director, Older Adult Services, Rush University Medical Center; Jennie Chin Hansen, RN, MS, President and CEO, American Geriatrics Society.

A New Vision for 21st-Century Aging:

Critical Course Corrections Needed for

Successful Aging

Are we prepared for the coming age wave? Can our country afford to have tens of millions of us living to 80, 90 or even 100+? Will ex-isting entitlement programs survive long enough for young gener-ations to reap even part of what they have been paying in? Can our current health care system handle the onslaught of chronic degen-erative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s? What is the new purpose for maturity? Are our leaders capable of distributing limited govern-ment resources fairly among many generations, each with its own distinct needs, styles, fears, complaints, expectations and political priorities? In this mind-stretching presentation, Ken Dychtwald will explore both the problems that the age wave brings, and their five interlocking solutions.

Presenter: Ken Dychtwald, PhD, President and CEO, Age Wave.

Protecting the Sacred Promise:

Social Security in the Cross-Hairs

Presented by AARP

In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, saying “This represents a cornerstone of a structure which is being built, but is by no means complete. It is a law that will take care of human needs and at the same time provide for the United States an economic structure of vastly greater soundness.”

Seventy-five years later, Social Security is still at the center of de-bate over fiscal policy. Social Security did not create today’s defi-cits. Yet some of the proposals to reduce the red ink could have a dramatic impact on our nation’s most successful social program. Further, today’s debate is occurring at a time when low person-al savings, unstable financial markets, and falling home values threaten living standards of older Americans.

As practitioners in the field of aging—and current or future ben-eficiaries of the Social Security system—how can we contribute to this ongoing discussion and ensure that the Social Security system remains a strong and vibrant cornerstone of retirement security for generations to come? What are the answers to those who call for increases in the retirement age, cuts in benefits or limits on COLAs? How can we make sure benefits remain adequate?

This session will provide a strategic road map — not only on how we can answer critics of the current Social Security system — but what policy steps we can take to make sure that Social Security retains its essential role as the foundation of income security for most U.S. families.

Presenter: John Rother, Executive Vice President of Policy, Strategy and International Affairs, AARP.

Passages in Caregiving

2011 is the year of the caregiver, and there is no better person to bring insight to the subject than Gail Sheehy, author of Passages in Caregiving: Turning Chaos into Confidence. In this session she will share her own caregiving experience and the experiences of those she interviewed for her book, highlighting her concept of the care labyrinth. She will offer empowering strategies for negotiating the caregiving passage—a cycle of life that compels us to approach an uncertain future with a new philosophy. Sheehy will be joined by Louis Colbert, who will share his story of caring for a parent. This session will offer useful lessons, advice and hope for those who are caring for another, and for those who have not yet stepped into this demanding life passage.

Presenters: Gail Sheehy, Author; Louis Colbert, MSW, Director, Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging and ASA Board Chair-Elect.

Critical Issues in Aging

CIA sessions focus on relevant topics in the field. They all take place in a dedicated time slot on Wednesday, April 27 from 10:00 - 11:00 am.

The Changing Face of Substance

Abuse/Misuse Among Elders

While the use of illicit drugs has been a footnote compared to alco-hol misuse and prescription drug abuse among the elder cohort, a study by Winkel and Bair (2008) and others suggest that changes are coming. Professionals have begun seeing or are predicted to see baby boom generation adults who present with suicidal ide-ation and a history of using cocaine, heroin, LSD and marijuana, as well as alcohol. Are we ready to respond to these substance abuse behaviors in this emerging population?

Presenter: Patrick Arbore, EdD, Clinical Director, Institute on Aging.

Professionals as Partners to Older Adults

and Their Caregiving Families

Caregiver wellness embodies the idea that caregivers can pro-vide excellent care for an older adult while at the same time tak-ing good care of themselves. As professionals, we need to better understand the practical and emotional needs of the entire fam-ily system during the caregiving experience. In addition, we need practical strategies for partnering with caregiving families to help them move from surviving the caregiving experience to thriving. This session will provide a framework for organizing the needs of the caregiving family as well as practical ideas for partnering with caregivers and the older adults they support. Available webinar resources will be introduced.

Presenter: Dr. Amy D’Aprix, PhD, President, Dr. Amy, Inc.

Panel of Pundits 2011

Last year at the Aging in America conference it was all about pass-ing health care reform. Now it is about implementation and as-sessing political advantage and/or liability. Where do we stand one year later? What was the impact of health care on the November election? Does it linger into 2012? What are the political and policy realities of the entitlement commission recommendations? Will the 2011 Older Americans Act really be transformational or mere tweaking? These and other topics including those from the audi-ence will be discussed during this session.

Presenters: Robert Blancato, MPA, President, Matz, Blancato & Associates; Richard Browdie, President & CEO, Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging; John Feather, PhD, CAE, Executive Director and CEO, American Society of Consultant Pharmacists; James Firman, President & CEO, National Council on Aging; Barbara Kennelly, President & CEO, National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

To learn more about this topic and earn free CEUs, be sure to attend our free Family Caregiver Support webinar series. The series features a variety of topics that will help caregivers navi-gate the many issues that arise while caring for an older adult. Continuing education credit is provided to attendees at no cost through generous support from Home Instead Senior Care, Inc. It’s the ideal opportunity to earn CEUs while gaining valuable informa-tion that will help you in your work with older adults — all without leaving your desk. It’s convenient and it’s FREE!

Gary W. Small, MD Jeffrey Kaye, MD

Wednesday, April 27 | 8:30 am – 2:30 pm

Fee: $35 for the first 200 registrants; $75 thereafter (includes continental breakfast & lunch).

Pre-registration is required. (Attendees must be registered for the Aging in America conference.)

The human brain and its vast functionality continues to fascinate and perplex. The human brain is undoubtedly the most magnifi-cent and complex system ever designed in the universe, and the recognition of this has unleashed a new understanding of the brain as both dynamic and heavily influenced by environmental input. Brain health has emerged as a significant field of study and arena for social application.

This daylong program will present a comprehensive review of the evolving landscape of brain fitness research and programs and dis-cuss a variety of inputs that stimulate and help extend brain func-tioning. Designed by a panel of experts on brain health, the curric-ulum for the program will provide a balanced view of the subject. Expert presenters will include select neuroscience professionals as well as practitioners who will share their experiences developing programs that enhance the quality of life of older adults.

Participants in this National Forum will:

● Learn about the latest research and findings on achiev-ing brain fitness through exercise and other lifestyle habits.

● Learn how new measures of brain fitness from embed-ded or everyday technologies can transform the way we assess our brain function and efficacy of brain treatments.

● Gain insights from this year’s MindAlert award winner who offers a successful program designed to enhance cognitive fitness in older adults in diverse communities.

● Learn from experienced trainers using multiple ap-proaches (theatre, art, social interactions) to achieve enhanced cognitive functions of adults in later life.

● See an engaging performance by a senior improv troupe.

● Leave with information about what you can do now to take better care of your brain.

8:30 - 9:00 am | Welcome and Introductions

9:00 - 10:15 am | From Brain Fitness to Mental Wellness as We Age

Dr. Small will describe the latest medical and scientific evidence on how to best protect your brain in order to live better and lon-ger. You will learn about the research-based evidence on the effect that lifestyle has on your ability to live well into your seventies, eighties and beyond, with health, vibrancy and cognitive vitality. Dr. Small will also review the latest on brain fitness exercises that aim to enhance brain health and improve memory performance, and teach some basic memory techniques. In addition to memory decline, psychological issues and mental disorders affect a large number of people as they age. To address these issues, Dr. Small will describe some of his most challenging psychiatric cases to help destigmatize psychological treatments and elucidate how a psychiatrist thinks, diagnoses, and treats mental conditions that interfere with daily life and limit our ability to achieve both brain fitness and mental wellness.

Presenter: Gary W. Small, MD, Professor of Psychiatry & Biobe-havioral Sciences and Director, UCLA Center on Aging; Memory & Aging, Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior, David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles.

ASA presents a National Forum on Brain Health

This program is underwritten by a grant from the MetLife Foundation to further the dissemination of new information and data on brain health. The National Forum builds upon the significant work in brain health knowledge and information developed through the MindAlert program, which is now in its 11th year.

10:15 – 11:30 am | How Do We Know if Our Brains Are Fit? Measuring Brain Wellness as We Age

A number of current methods of assessing brain fitness with ag-ing rely on indirect measures of cognitive and behavioral function such as self-reported memory capability or everyday functional efficacy. Alternatively, more direct measures of cognitive function such as standardized tests of neurocognitive function are used. These methods all suffer from several shortcomings including a tendency to rely on sparsely spaced queries (questionnaires, phone or brief in-person exams) conducted at the convenience of the clinician; dependence on recall of events or brief snapshots of function; tests that are artificial or non-real-world based, not “fun” or engaging; the assumption that observations recorded during the exam represent typical function; they are subject to high in-ter-rater or test to test variability; and limited direct knowledge of other events that can significantly affect outcomes (e.g., sleep, socialization, physical activity).

An alternative to current episodic, brief, clinic-based, obtrusive and inconvenient assessments is to take advantage of the existing potential of embedded sensing and ubiquitous computing environ-ments that can be brought into the home and provide for more meaningful real-time, real-world, personalized, unobtrusive and continuous assessment of brain function. This keynote address will present the state of the science of this rapidly evolving ambient assessment capability for facilitating the brain health of our aging population.

Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Kaye, MD, Director, NIA—Layton Aging & Al-zheimer’s Disease Center & ORCATECH, Oregon Health & Science University and Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

11:30 am – Noon | ASA-Metlife Foundation MindAlert Award: Winner of the 2011 Program

ASA presents a National Forum on the Future

of Aging: Looking Ahead

Presented in collaboration with The Institute for the Future Sponsored by Sanofi Aventis and MetLife Mature Market InstituteProgram content for this National Forum was inspired by the Fall 2010 issue of ASA’s Journal, Generations.

Friday, April 29 | 8:30 am – 3:30 pm

Fee: $30 (includes coffee).

Limited to 200. Pre-registration is required. (Attendees must be registered for the Aging in America conference.)

2011 marks a watershed, the year that the first baby boomers reach the age of 65. Over the next several decades, the number of Americans over age 60 will increase by nearly 70 percent, by far the largest increase for any age group in the population.

This change will put unprecedented stresses on systems that have been created to meet the needs of previous, much smaller genera-tions of elders. In addition, there is ample evidence that boomers have values and expectations that are quite different than those of their parents. As a result, they are likely to transform the insti-tutions that serve seniors. The environment in which aging takes place is not static, but is changing rapidly in ways that are often difficult to foresee.

The purpose of this forum is to explore the future of aging from a variety of perspectives, in order to enrich participants’ views of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and to provide them with useful tools for making use of future-oriented thinking in their ongoing planning activities.

The forum will be led by Richard Adler, guest editor of the Fall 2010 issue of ASA’s journal, Generations, on the future of aging. He is joined by colleagues from the Institute for the Future, who will provide a practical introduction to future thinking, and by experts who will explore the future of areas like demographics, health care, transportation, and aging services. Each attendee will receive a copy of this issue of Generations.

Participants in the Forum will:

● Learn key principles of and strategies for future thinking.

● Engage in interactive exercises to put new techniques into practice.

● Develop an appreciation of the key issues that will emerge in aging in the next several decades.

● Be inspired to become leaders in shaping the future of their organizations.

8:30 – 8:40 am | Welcome – I Am the Present

Presenter: Louis Colbert, MSW, Director, Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging, and Chair-Elect, American Society on Aging.

8:40 – 9:15 am | Introduction to the Future

No one can predict the future, but it is possible to explore a range of future possibilities and then develop creative strategies that re-spond to these possibilities. This opening session will provide an overview of the futures field and how it can be usefully applied to the field of aging.

Presenter: Richard Adler, AB, MA, MBA, Research Associate, Institute for the Future; Principal, People & Technology.

9:15 – 10:30 am | Mapping the Future: A Practical Introduction

For more than 40 years, the Institute for the Future has been gen-erating foresight that sparks insights that lead to practical action. In this session, experts from IFTF will provide a guided tour of its “map” of the boomers’ next 20 years and demonstrate their meth-ods for “getting there early”—using future thinking to improve planning in the present. Participants will have an opportunity to try out some of these techniques in an interactive exercise.

Presenters: Rod Falcon, Health Horizons Program Director, Institute for the Future; Miriam Lueck Avery, Research Manager, Institute for the Future.

In the year 2067, a 122-year-old man describes what aging was like in the 21st century under two different scenarios, one positive, one negative. The emphasis is on population aging with a touch of biotechnology, global warming, regenerative medicine, and many other issues.

Presenter: Harry Rick Moody, Director of Academic Affairs, AARP.

11:15 am – Noon | Aging, Demographics and Diversity

Dramatic demographic trends are shaping the future of aging globally and domestically. Dr. Adele Hayutin explains how aging is occurring in different parts of the world, while Dr. Judith Treas provides a preview of the increasingly multiethnic future of aging in the U.S.

Presenters: Adele Hayutin, PhD, Director, Global Aging Program Stanford University Center for Longevity; Judith Treas, PhD, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Irvine.

1:45 – 2:15 pm | Senior Transportation and Shared Private Capacity: The Model T of Community Transport

In a car-oriented culture, access to an automobile is critical to mo-bility. But as the number of older adults increases dramatically, so will the number of non-driving seniors. Traditional mass transit offers an extremely limited solution to this problem, but there is an exciting alternative in our future, based on the creative combina-tion of private cars and information technology.

Thursday, April 28 | 8:00 am – 3:30 pm

Fee: $25 (includes morning coffee); Optional luncheon: $75.


Women are living longer and healthier lives, expanding their influ-ence in the marketplace and the workplace. Older women are a diverse group. Who are they and what do they want? Organiza-tions that successfully answer these questions can capture their share of the market of over 50 million women 50+. Often over-looked, older women have a wide sphere of influence that reaches far beyond their households. Not only are they consumers and de-cision-makers in their own households (especially on health care), but they exert influence over the purchasing habits of older and younger generations.

This Summit, keynoted by Maddy Dychtwald, nationally recognized demographer and author of Influence: How Women’s Soaring Eco-nomic Power Will Transform Our World for the Better, will explore the concerns, options and choices that punctuate the lives of older women so that organizations can better understand how to appeal to them. As program synthesizer, Maddy will also weave together key themes and insights during the daylong program. Three pow-erhouse panel sessions will show just how powerful this growing marketplace is for business.

Business leaders and professionals who attend this program will:

● Apply various types of research and marketing mes-sages that media companies use to successfully reach older women.

● Understand how the economy affects the lives of older women using financial, workplace and personal transi-tion models of success.

● Acquire a holistic picture of the active older woman, with insights into beauty, health care, physical fitness and well-being.

8:00 – 8:05 am | Welcome and Introductions

Helen Dennis, Chair, ASA’s Business Forum on Aging.

8:05 – 8:50 am | Influence: How Women’s Soaring Economic Power Will Transform Our World for the Better

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, women are on the verge of attaining economic parity with men—something our great-grandmothers and grandfathers would never have imag-ined. With this new economic fortitude, women may be the biggest change agent of the 21st century with the opportunity to influence the direction of the marketplace, the workplace, the family and worldwide leadership. In this presentation, based on her new book of the same title, Maddy Dychtwald paints a captivating picture of women coming into power in America (and worldwide), which no woman or man can afford to ignore. With more than 25 years experience in analyzing and forecasting demographic, lifestyle and consumer marketing trends pertaining to boomers and the aging of America, Maddy has filled this multimedia presentation with breakthrough research findings, marketplace insights and inspir-ing stories of trend-setting women from all walks of life.

Keynote presenter: Maddy Dychtwald, Co-Founder & Senior Vice President, Age Wave.

8:50 – 9:50 am | Money, Work and Transitions

A panel of experts will talk about the dramatic changes taking place in the economy and how it impacts the lives of older women and what business is doing to respond to the change.

Presenters: Jo Ann Jenkins, President, AARP Foundation; Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, President, Schwab Foundation; Suzanne MacGibbon, Principal, High Technology Industry, Deloitte Consult-ing LLP; Sandra Timmermann, EdD, Vice President, MetLife and Executive Director, Mature Market Institute.

CDC: Improving Older Adult Health –

Opportunities and Resources for

Professionals

Tuesday, April 26 | 1:00 - 4:00 pm

Fee: $15.


The rapid aging of the U.S. population has far-reaching implica-tions for our nation’s aging services needs and public health sys-tem. This interactive workshop will help participants understand public health’s role in promoting healthy aging. It will equip par-ticipants with tools and resources to promote and improve older adults’ health and quality of life, and identify partners and oppor-tunities to incorporate older adults and healthy aging into existing public health strategies within their state or community.

Presenters: William Benson, Principal, Health Benefits ABCs; Letia Boseman, MPH, CHES, Senior Public Health Analyst, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Divison of Diabetes Translation; Jeffrey Hall, Behavioral Scientist, Division of Vio-lence Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Mobility Management:

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Presented by The National Center on Senior Transportation (NCST)

Tuesday, April 26 | 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Fee: $25 (includes morning coffee and afternoon refreshments).


Transportation options for older adults are critical lifelines. This daylong session will highlight the emerging concept of mobility management. The morning will focus on two communities that “walk the walk” as their older residents benefit from more rides to a broader service delivery area, more options and improved transportation information. The afternoon session will showcase efforts at the national and state levels to address mobility options for persons with dementia. Person-centered mobility manage-ment resource materials and funding opportunities will be shared throughout.

9:00 am – Noon | Morning Session

The National Center on Senior Transportation (NCST) is a valuable resource for members of the aging network with an interest in enhancing senior mobility options. Following a brief overview of the NCST, the morning ses-sion will begin by defining mobility management includ-ing available resources and funding. Two communities that “walk the walk” in the area of mobility manage-ment for older adults will be featured. Focus will be on technology solutions that not only enhance efficiency and service delivery, but also improve access and mobil-ity options for older adults along with innovative collab-orative and contractual relationships between transit

providers and the aging network. Older adults in both communities benefit from more rides to a broader service delivery area, more options and improved transportation information.

Presenters: Lynnda Bassham, Lower Savannah Council of Governments; Virginia Dize, National Center on Senior Trans-portation, National Association of Area Agencies on Aging; Jane Hardin, Community Transportation Association; Jed Johnson, National Center on Senior Transportation, Easter Seals Headquar-ters; Terry Parker, Lane Transit District; Lynn Winchell-Mendy, National Center on Senior Transportation, National Association of Area Agencies on Aging.

1:00 – 4:00 pm | Afternoon Session

Currently, 5.3 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease, with nearly 11 million unpaid caregivers providing support. Eventually, all persons with Alzheimer’s disease will have to transition from driving. The afternoon session will showcase efforts at the nation-al and state levels to address mobility options for persons with de-mentia, as these numbers will grow exponentially. The Alzheimer’s Association will highlight the development of an online Dementia and Driving Resource Center and showcase a number of specific resources. At the state level, the Florida Department of Elder Af-fairs commissioned a study to look specifically at dementia-friend-ly transportation. A variety of dementia-friendly transportation resources including tip sheets, training curricula and “Silver Alert” notification program will be discussed and disseminated.

Linking the Social and Medical Models

through Care Coordination in the

Aging Network

Presented by the National Coalition on Care Coordination, ASA and the New York Academy of Medicine

Wednesday, April 27 | 8:30 am - 3:00 pm

Fee: $35 (includes continental breakfast and lunch).


The increasing number of older adults in the United States with one or more chronic conditions presents an unprecedented chal-lenge to the health care and social service systems, and to individ-uals, their families and other caregivers. Chronic disease requires ongoing attention and management of medical, psychological, economic and social factors, thereby requiring the development of interdisciplinary teams. A number of recent studies have docu-mented the effectiveness of medically oriented care coordination programs. However, the impact of integrated-services models that coordinate health, psychosocial, and supportive service interven-tions among community-dwelling adults is less understood.

With the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the expected reauthorization of the Older Americans Act in 2011, organizations will have the policy tools to better address the needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions, their families and other caregivers. Through evidence-based research and partnerships among hospitals, health care professionals, the aging network and consumer groups, we can establish integrated-services models that link social and medical interventions through better care coordination.

8:30 am | Welcome and Introduction

Pat Volland, MSW, MBA, Senior Vice President for Strategy and Business Development Director, Social Work Leadership Institute, New York Academy of Medicine.

9:00 am | Keynote

This session will discuss the importance of linking social and medi-cal models through care coordination. Commentary will include getting the aging network ready to partner with the medical do-main. We will also address the steps that will have to be taken in order to achieve a social/medical interface.

Presenter: Steve Counsell, MD, Director, Geriatrics Scientist, Center for Aging Research, Indiana University School of Medicine.

10:15 – 11:15 am | Evidence-Based Models That Link Social and Medical Care Using Care Coordination

This panel will discuss findings from research efforts targeted at identifying the evidence for delivering health and social services using care coordination. Suggestions for model adaptations based on variability in available resources, setting, and other factors will be covered. We will discuss dealing with the discrepancy between resources made available for conducting a study or demonstration versus what is actually feasible in the non-research (real) world.

Presenters: Pat Volland and Cheryl Schraeder, RN, PhD, FAAN, Director of Policy and Practice Initiatives, UIC College of Nursing.

Noon - 1:00 pm | Best Practices Featuring Active Community-Based Programs Delivering Medical and Social Services

This panel will include national representatives from practice-oriented community-based programs who can speak to both the medical and social perspectives. Panelists will provide detailed de-scriptions of their programs, including key characteristics and out-comes, challenges, funding streams, and potential for replication.

Moderator: Lynn Feinberg, MSW, Campaign Director, National Partnership for Women & Families.

Presenters: Kyle Allen, DO, Summa Senior Health Services; Victor Hirth, MD, Lowman Home Long Term Care Facility and Wildewood Downs Retirement Community; Alan Stevens, PhD, Director of Program on Aging and Care, Scott & White Healthcare.

1:00 - 2:00 pm | State Systems of Integrated Care

This panel will present statewide initiatives that are developing de-livery of integrated services. Representatives from states will pro-vide a detailed description of their programs, including key char-acteristics especially funding mechanisms. Outcomes, challenges, lessons learned and potential for replication will be included.

Moderator: Katie Maslow, MSW, Alzheimer’s Consultant, Maslow Associates.

Presenters: Robert Applebaum, MSW, PhD, Professor, Scripps Gerontology Center, Miami University; Jody Blatt, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Donna McDowell, Bureau of Aging and Disability Resources, Division of Long Term Care, Wisconsin.

An overview of elements of the Older Americans Act which address care coordination will be provided. Panelists will discuss proposed recommendations to AoA for reauthorization, and how the aging network can play a role in the implementation of care coordination provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Moderator: Carol O’Shaughnessy, National Health Policy Forum.

Presenters: Robert Blancato, MPA, President, Matz, Blancato & Associates; Mark McClellan, MD, PhD, (invited) Director, Engel-berg Center for Health Care Reform, The Brookings Institution; Martha Roherty, Executive Director, National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities.

Fifth National Conference

for Caregiving Coalitions

Presented by the National Alliance for Caregiving

Wednesday, April 27 | 1:30 - 3:00 pm

No fee. (Attendees must be registered for the Aging in America conference.)

Passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Caregivers and Veteran’s Omnibus Health Services Act in 2010 of-fered numerous opportunities to recognize and integrate family caregivers into the health care team. This session will examine how policy has changed in the past 18 months to support the integra-tion of informal caregivers within the acute care, primary care and integrated care settings. The panel will address how practice in these settings is changing during the planning and implementation phases in respect to caregiver identification, assessment, service provision or linkage, and evaluation of outcomes. Panelists will also identify additional policy recommendations that will be needed to move integration of caregivers forward within these settings.

Presenters: Kathleen Kelly, MPA, Executive Director, Family Caregiver Alliance; Heather Mahoney-Gleason, Caregiver Sup-port Program Manager, Office of Patient Care Services, Veteran’s Health Adminstration; Jennifer Wolff, Associate Professor, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University.

ASA’s Constituent Group Programs

These are multi-session programs organized around a specific topic and presented by ASA’s Constituent Groups. They are included in your registration fee and do not require pre-registration.

Ethnic Diversity and Dementia: Health

Disparities, Chronic Disease and Dementia

Presented by ASA’s Healthcare and Aging Network


Despite advances in health care, ethnic minorities continue to have higher rates of disease. African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Ameri-cans, American Indians, and some Asian Americans and other Pa-cific Islanders are at particularly high risk for type 2 diabetes, and have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. The prevalence of these diseases also may increase risk for dementia. This program will explore ways in which healthy lifestyles may help reduce the risk of dementia and other chronic diseases among high-risk populations.

This program is endorsed by ASA’s Network of Multicultural Aging and Mental Health and Aging Network.

Addressing the Mental Health Needs of

the Aging Baby Boomers

Presented by ASA’s Mental Health and Aging Network


With the aging of the baby boomers, the landscape of mental health concerns among older Americans is rapidly changing. Further, meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse and com-plex older population is of high importance in health care reform. This program will highlight new developments in effective mental health and substance abuse interventions for older adults and will discuss innovative treatment delivery demonstrations. Policy im-plications regarding the care of aging individuals with mental and substance abuse problems will be addressed.

Revisioning Aging: Creating New Models for

Meeting the Needs of Today’s Older Adults

Presented by ASA’s LGBT Aging Issues Network

Thursday, April 28 | 8:00 – 11:30 am

There is increasing recognition of the limitations and exclusions of traditional aging paradigms. Single and/or childless persons from non-dominant cultural groups, LGBT people among them, often rely on nonbiological family-based caregiving, and their experienc-es can serve as models to address our overburdened caregiving system. A dialog informed by LGBT sexuality, gender identity, race, ethnicity, families of choice, ability, class and common struggle can contribute to meeting the needs of all older adults. This program will address the benefits gained from a commitment to diversity in the evolution of an all-inclusive aging movement.

By 2045, more than half of the population in the U.S. will be per-sons of color. This program will explore how this paradigm will greatly impact the health care delivery system, and overall eco-nomic infrastructure that is needed to serve a diverse population.

Encouraging Spiritual Growth in the

Third Age

Presented by ASA’s Forum on Religion, Spirituality and Aging


Join us as we explore ways to invite the spirit to encourage indi-viduals to embrace the total aging experience. We will address the positive opportunities as well as the challenges that are encoun-tered during the transitions of aging. As such, we will explore the body, mind, heart and spirit. The presentations will stimulate and challenge you to further discover your authentic aging self and live without illusions.

Lifelong Learning in the 21st Century:

Transition and Transformation

Presented by ASA’s Lifetime Education and Renewal Network

Friday, April 29 | 8:00 – 11:30 am

Third age learning organizations that provide intellectually stimu-lating programs and activities for people over age 50 are a rela-tively new concept, but they are springing up everywhere to meet the needs of a new generation of learners. This program is an opportunity to think about philosophical underpinnings and hear practical tips for success in planning exciting learning adventures for “seasoned adults.” Participants will engage in lively discussions on learning environments for third agers.

Environments, Services and Technologies

for Aging in Place

Presented by ASA’s Network on Environments, Services and Technologies for Maximizing Independence


Aging in place is a central theme for growing older in the United States, due largely to compelling age demographics coupled with strong baby boomer attitudes on home, work and play. This pro-gram will explore a broad set of research, policy and practice is-sues regarding universal design, health care reform, aging servic-es and technology adoption for aging at home. Technology use by communities of color to support aging in place will be highlighted.
