Who is responsible for the care of older adults in the community? From this<br />
question, others naturally arise: Is this care the responsibility of family, society, or a<br />
partnership of both? If society has a role, how far should support extend? Will it<br />
target only those with financial need, or will it extend to middle-income families to<br />
ensure their long-term financial health? Will society fund services sufficiently to<br />
provide affordable substitute care on a sliding fee scale that will enable family<br />
members to continue to work? Or will we continue to see significant numbers of<br />
caregivers leave the workforce annually to support the health needs of a family<br />
member? These and other fundamental policy and values questions loom large in<br />
the future of evolving policy, integration of services, and emerging technologies.<br />
This program will cover the significant acceleration of change in the evolution of<br />
family caregiving over the past 10 years. Join us for a review of these significant<br />
changes with expert authors, researchers and advocates who are tireless in their<br />
commitments to improve family caregiving systems and support.<br />

Poor oral healthcare is a significant health crisis for seniors. In response to this need, the Gary and Mary West Senior<br />
Dental Center opened in San Diego in 2016 to provide low-income seniors with oral healthcare, while addressing overall<br />
health for a holistic, comprehensive care model which includes health, nutritional, and community support services.<br />
Panelists will discuss this integrated model and initial research findings that explore the model’s scalability and replicability<br />
nationally.<br />
