Serving Diverse Elders: Strategies for Meaningful Inclusion Service Planning and Delivery

Produced by the National Consortium on Aging Resources for Seniors’ Equity Members:

National Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA)

As the older adult population grows, many Aging Network providers are considering the unique needs and barriers diverse elder communities navigate by incorporating their stories and experiences into their organization’s planning process. By making some simple changes, diverse elders can be included as aging services and programs are designed, implemented, and evaluated. This guide aims to provide the Aging Network with tools and resources needed to be more inclusive of culturally diverse populations of older adults during the planning process.
