Our Generosity in July campaign is an opportunity to support Unum Group community partners during a critical time of need. This year, we're supporting our community partners who help older adults (age 65+) stay active and independent. Throughout July, #TeamUnum will spread the #CaringSpirit and build stronger communities, one act of service at a time. Southern Maine Agency On Aging provides vital programs for older adults and caregivers in our region, including Meals on Wheels, Medicare counseling, and case management services for individuals of the greatest social and economic need.

America's Chief Elder Officer | CEO at CareYaya Health Technologies | Social Enterprise + Applied Research Lab | Empowering Family Caregivers
Today, my letter in The Washington Post highlights the urgent need for a national strategy on elder care. The elder care crisis looms large, yet remains unaddressed by our leaders. Why the silence on an issue affecting millions of Americans? 💔 With 1 in 5 Americans projected to be of retirement age by 2030, we're facing an unprecedented caregiving challenge. Millions are caught between caring for aging parents and raising children, often at great personal and professional cost. We need a national strategy for caregiving. 💪 We need concrete plans from our presidential candidates to support family caregivers, expand professional training, and improve elder care funding. Innovative technologies and services can ease the burden, but leadership is crucial to make elder care a national priority. It's time to spark a national conversation. What solutions do you envision for dignified aging and sustainable caregiving? Let's work together to build a future where neither the elders nor their caregivers are left behind. 🌟

I recently spoke with Victoria Schall on RVN Television about our efforts to increase access to Medicaid benefits for older adults and people with disabilities in New Jersey. Enrolling in Medicare or turning 65 places older adults and people with disabilities at a "coverage cliff" for Medicaid benefits, subjecting them to stricter income and asset thresholds than younger populations. This harsh reality strips many of the essential Medicaid benefits they rely on, depriving them of critical home care services, such as personal care services, that support aging in their communities. Current financial eligibility criteria also impoverish these populations, limiting their ability to manage inevitable expenses like home or car repairs. Furthermore, these stringent financial criteria disproportionately impact older adults of color, who are more likely to be renters and, therefore, need ready access to cash. A coalition of aging and disability stakeholders in New Jersey is working to rectify these coverage disparities. To learn more about our policy proposals to address these inequities and how you can support our efforts, please consider watching: #realizing Olmstead #HCBS #advocacy #Medicaid #equity
