No Wrong Door

ADvancing States, with support of the National Council on Aging or NCOA, is pleased to release an issue brief on the NWD System initiative describing the fundamentals of NWD Systems and state partnerships with community-based organizations.

This paper from AARP describes promising practices on how aging and disability network agencies, Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs), and Veteran Benefits Offices in seven states have forged partnerships to better support Veterans in community living. The paper includes a checklist for these local organizations to enhance collaboration and truly create a “no wrong door” for Veterans and their family caregivers to receive services in the community.
