The Issue
The older adult population is rapidly growing in Marin, increasing the need for older adult care and services. Providers have relied on public funding and private grants that are now strained. This has made it increasingly difficult for organizations to plan for the future, to keep pace with demand, or to take advantage of opportunities to innovate.
Our Approach
Both the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the growth in the older adult demographic provide opportunities to develop new collaborations between the healthcare sector and community-based organizations. We will seek to help build the capacity and infrastructure of critical older adult providers.
