Policy Brief: Creative Aging in the Healthy Aging Ecosystem
Article Publication Date
Summary
Lifetime Arts has recently released a new policy brief emphasizing the importance of incorporating creative aging more intentionally into the healthy aging ecosystems.
The growth and variation of America’s older adult population is being coupled with a wide-ranging policy and care delivery response at federal, state, and local levels. As public and private sector leaders redesign services for today and tomorrow’s older adults, three trending issues shape the healthy aging agenda: brain health, social connectedness, and livable communities.
This policy brief makes the case to incorporate creative aging more intentionally into the healthy aging ecosystem through three recommendations: elevating awareness, embedding in policy, and accelerating investment.
