Summary
West Health, in collaboration with the Center for Health Care Strategies, has launched the National Aging Readiness Dashboard, an interactive tool that brings together aging-related data from multiple national sources into one platform.
The Dashboard consolidates national- and state-level data to help policymakers, government staff, health plans, providers, advocates, and other stakeholders identify trends, uncover gaps, and inform strategies that better support older adults. National and state-level data domains featured in the Dashboard include:
- Policy activity about states’ multisector plans for aging
- Demographics
- Economic security
- Health care coverage, access, and costs
- Health status
- Mental health indicators
- Dementia and cognitive decline
- Caregiving, including both paid and unpaid caregiving
- Housing and homelessness
- Transportation and its impact on aging in place
