NATIONAL POLL ON HEALTHY AGING
| | |
Older Americans may be missing out on a wide range of programs and services that could help them meet their needs or assist their aging loved ones, according to new results from the National Poll on Healthy Aging.
The poll asked more than 4,000 adults over age 50 about their awareness and use of Area Agencies on Aging, State Health Insurance Assistance Programs, and options for long term services and supports. Only a small minority–less than 10%–said they had used these programs or knew a lot about them.
