Virginia's Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) have developed innovative solutions to improve health outcomes and address the growing aging population. The AAAs offer a diverse set of both traditional and evidence-based programs delivered in-home. Their services range from meals and transportation to programs addressing chronic disease, falls prevention, and social determinants of health. By 2050, nearly 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65, with associated increases in chronic conditions and costs. The AAAs provide a unique statewide model for delivering high-quality, low-cost preventative care coordination to help seniors age in place.

Bristol - building a truly healthy city, pop up uni, 12.00, 3 september 2015NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

PPI (patient and public involvement) is imperative for successful commissioning for several reasons: it saves money and ensures pathways are used; it increases the moral and democratic legitimacy of the NHS; and it leads to safer and better designed services. Effective PPI requires democratic and participatory involvement from both individuals and community groups to influence priorities, service development, and quality standards. This can be achieved through structures like Healthwatch, consortium governance models, and community development approaches that view community members as assets and work to improve health through co-production.
PPI (patient and public involvement) is imperative for successful commissioning for several reasons: it saves money and ensures pathways are used; it increases the moral and democratic legitimacy of the NHS; and it leads to safer and better designed services. There are several governance options for consortiums including democratic elections to boards and having lay people and community groups represented. Community development and asset-based approaches can improve PPI, health outcomes, and tackle inequalities by strengthening communities and individuals.

Local Healthwatch will take over functions from existing LINk organizations, including community engagement, identifying issues with commissioned services, and reporting on local concerns. They will also have new responsibilities like providing information on services and helping people access and choose care. Healthwatch England will oversee Local Healthwatch and can escalate issues to the Care Quality Commission. The goal is for Healthwatch to effectively involve children, young people, and disadvantaged communities in shaping local services.
The document provides an overview and context for the Care Act 2014 reforms in England. It discusses the history of care and support laws over the past 65+ years. The Care Act aims to make care and support clearer and fairer by putting people's wellbeing and outcomes at the center, extending financial support, and protecting from catastrophic costs. The document summarizes regulations and guidance being consulted on to implement the Care Act, covering topics like assessment, advocacy, charging and personal budgets.
This document discusses changes to health and social care in the UK and their potential impact on the Jewish community. It notes that individuals will receive personal budgets to spend on care rather than money going to organizations. This may lead clinical groups to signpost people to cheaper non-Jewish providers. However, over-relying on non-Jewish care could threaten the viability of Jewish providers. The document recommends educating the Jewish community about communal assets and resolving to promote Jewish care through an information campaign.

This document discusses supporting parents with intellectual disabilities. It notes that people with intellectual disabilities have a right to parenthood under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, there is often a national discussion on whether those with intellectual disabilities should have children. The organization ASVZ supports over 500 families with intellectual disabilities and 60 families living in residential family homes. They have created a toolkit called "Talking About Children" to help professionals and families discuss the topic of parenthood for those with intellectual disabilities. The toolkit contains various tools and materials to facilitate respectful conversations and better prepare potential parents.
This document discusses issues faced by people with disabilities such as attitudes, employment difficulties, lack of friends, poor treatment by service providers, lack of accessible transport and information, and inequality. It presents a vision for the future with no bullying, more jobs, better transport, and equality. It encourages people to speak up, join groups like NSW CID, and get more involved to create positive change.
The document discusses Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC), which is part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). ILC aims to connect people with disability to their communities by providing information, building skills and confidence, and helping communities become more inclusive. It will include activities like information provision, capacity building for mainstream services, community awareness, individual skills training, and Local Area Coordination. ILC is a major change and its activities and areas will take time to implement effectively on a national level through open grant funding and collaboration between national and local organizations.
1. Adults with intellectual disability identified close relationships with key family members who provide love and support.
2. While family support enables greater choice, participants accepted limits to choice imposed by family to maintain relationships.
3. The research aims to understand how families support self-determination while balancing protection to further understand this relationship.
Joey was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer at 18 months old that required six months of surgery and chemotherapy. Despite the medical team's outstanding care, Joey survived but had difficulties with communication, mobility, and developing autism. This created challenges for providing appropriate healthcare as Joey grew older. Finding the right healthcare for Joey's complex needs has been like rafting down the unpredictable and dangerous Zambezi River, with obstacles along the way but also moments of beauty, progress, and gratitude for the life-saving system.
This document summarizes the development of an evidence-based framework for supported decision making. It outlines a 7-step process for decision making support that is informed by 3 principles and tailored to the individual. The framework is being piloted and evaluated through an ARC Linkage study. The goal is to provide guidance to family, staff, guardians, and facilitators on effectively supporting decision making for people with disabilities or cognitive impairments. Legal reforms are pending in Australia to recognize supported decision making and resources are needed to help implement this approach in practice.
People with intellectual disabilities discussed big issues like attitudes towards disability, employment difficulties, lack of friends, poor treatment by some staff and service providers, transport access issues, and lack of accessible information and equality. Attendees agreed to share information to change attitudes, tell their personal stories, work on addressing these big issues, involve people with intellectual disabilities more in their organizations, and learn to create easy to read information. The group plans to share the results with government ministers, continue informing others, address the issues raised, and involve more people in advocacy through their organization.
This document outlines NSW's transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and transfer of services from the Ageing, Disability and Home Care department. It discusses plans for mainstream interfaces, policy design around quality and safeguards, advocacy, and supporting people with complex needs. It also addresses workforce recruitment, rural and remote areas, and ensuring continuity of supports and services for people with disabilities.
Judith discusses the importance of speaking up and having your say. She talks about good things in her life as well as things that could be better. She encourages others to identify issues that concern them, ways to address these issues, and how to spread these messages to others. Judith's final message emphasizes that speaking up is everyone's right and there are many ways to do so, such as talking to friends or joining advocacy groups, in order to work together to make voices heard on important issues.
The document summarizes the experiences of an individual who attended various advocacy workshops and conferences to learn about their rights and become more involved and confident in self advocacy. They helped organize local advocacy groups and workshops to inform and inspire others, and took on leadership roles including speaking at conferences and interviewing for advocacy council positions. The individual gained experience public speaking and meeting various advocates and politicians in their work to promote self advocacy.
1. Paul Zeller became involved in self advocacy in 2012 through a workshop that taught him about knowing his rights and speaking up. He helped start a local self advocacy group.
2. Through leadership training, Paul and some friends worked on a project called the Intersection Project to improve safety at a busy intersection. They presented to local council and were able to push for changes.
3. Paul has since become chair of his self advocacy group. He regularly attends conferences, does advocacy workshops, and was selected to join the Disability Council of NSW to advocate for people with disabilities, especially in rural areas.
The NDIS is transitioning to become fully operational across Australia. It is being rolled out state by state, with all of NSW to have the NDIS by July 2018. The NDIS aims to give people with disability more choice and control over supports to live independently and participate in their communities. It also seeks to support people early to reduce the impact of disability. However, establishing the NDIS across all of Australia presents challenges as the market of disability supports expands dramatically.
The document repeatedly states "A look back at last year's conference!" without providing any additional context, details, or information about the conference that was looked back at from last year.
This document contains summaries from multiple sessions on topics related to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It discusses questions asked about the NDIS and its potential impacts. Other topics include goal planning, leadership skills, qualities of a good life, and individual stories and dreams. The document captures discussions, presentations and group activities at an event.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

• We examine causes and patterns of deaths, and identify
ways in which those deaths could be prevented or reduced.
• We report to Parliament every two years on our work, our
recommendations, and the progress of agency actions to
address our previous recommendations.
3. Current report
• On 29 June, we tabled our eighth report on reviewable
deaths.
• The latest report covers the deaths in 2012 and 2013 of
239 people with disability in residential care.
• It also includes an additional chapter on issues relating to
the health of people with disability in NSW that need to be
addressed ahead of the full roll-out of the NDIS.

services
We have consistently identified and reported problems in the
interaction with health services, including:
• inadequate support to facilitate access to health services
and treatment
• substantial gaps in health care planning and coordination

5. Experience with mainstream health
services
• poor coordination and transfer of care from hospital to
home
• the need for an improved health response to people with
complex needs, and
