TU109 Improving Quality in <strong>Program</strong>s Serving<br />
Individuals in Need of Long-Term<br />
Services and Supports<br />
9:00 AM | Columbian (West Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
Sponsored by UnitedHealthcare Community & State.<br />
As states move to establish Medicaid managed long-term<br />
supports and services programs, an important consideration will<br />
be how to leverage quality reporting and measurement to improve<br />
services and outcomes. A consistent quality framework lays the<br />
foundation for evidence-based decision-making and advocacy on<br />
MLTSS program design and implementation. Join us in a discussion<br />
with leading national aging stakeholders about the whys and<br />
hows of implementing a meaningful quality framework.<br />

Today’s veterans, with an average income below $36,000 per<br />
year, face housing and health challenges. This session will explore<br />
the coordinated services needed to ensure they are able to live full<br />

TU115 Memory Care: Integrating the<br />
Physical and Social Environments<br />
9:00 AM | Columbus CD (East Tower, Gold Level)<br />
When dementia is viewed as a disability rather than as an<br />
illness, the memory care environment becomes a critically<br />
important part of treatment. This session will focus on how the<br />
physical and social environments in memory care can contribute<br />
to independence, functioning, well-being and community.<br />
Innovative approaches to programming and design in memory<br />
care will be discussed.<br />

TU117 Political & Financial Sustainability of<br />
Age-Friendly Community Initiatives<br />
9:00 AM | Comiskey (West Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
Each age-friendly community initiative is unique and locationspecific,<br />
but all face political and financial sustainability challenges.<br />
Sometimes the key challenges include competing with<br />
other important issues (affordable housing, homelessness, safe<br />
streets, sustainability/resiliency, etc.) for support. Other times<br />
the key issues include linking and leveraging other ongoing<br />
public and private programs and entities. And everywhere there<br />
is the struggle to secure patient funding.<br />
