Is Indiana ready for its changing demographics? By Lynn Sygiel, editor, Charitable Advisors Ellen Miller is an optimist, a person who sees the glass as half full. She looks at statistics that show the nation's 65-and-over population is expected to double to 83.7 million by 2050. And while many see that as cause for alarm, Miller sees it as an opportunity. "It's no surprise to anyone that our society is aging. We've known it's coming. It's predictable," said Miller, executive director of U-Indy's Center on Aging since 2001. "People like to frame the aging of our society as, 'Oh, my gosh, our society is aging.' "It's just as easy to say, 'Cool, our society is aging, we've never had these kinds of demographics before.' What's the opportunity to think about this and use it to our advantage?" In 2010, Indiana's 65+ population was 13 percent, but by 2030 that will increase to 20 percent. The foremost question appears to be: Are we ready for this changing demographic? Read more. |

Center for At-Risk Elders (CARE)
When Ken Bennett started practicing elder law 33 years ago, it wasn't with the intention of running a nonprofit. His practice focused on health-care advocacy. During the course of his private practice and through personal experiences, he realized there was no surrogate decision-maker to help remedy issues of neglect, abuse and exploitation of elders. Prosecutors administer Indiana's adult protective services. Bennett said the state's adult protective services don't go far enough. Read more. |
Joy's House
When Tina McIntosh was a student at Ball State University, she volunteered at an adult day center in Muncie, and that experience planted a seed. In 1999, McIntosh launched Indianapolis-based Joy's House and 10 years later, expanded its Broad Ripple operation. The agency recently announced the opening of a Southside location near the University of Indianapolis. All this hard work and innovative programming recently won the local nonprofit a prestigious national award. This fall, the National Adult Day Services Association gave Joy's House its top prize -- outstanding and innovative adult day center -- and encourages others to learn from its model. Read more. |
