Benjamin Rose Institute Aging Strategic Alignment Project (Roadmap) key issues: The 2006 Amendments to the Older Americans Act included important new provisions related to long-term care that underscore the national role of the Aging Services Network in home and community-based services. Through a cooperative agreement, the Benjamin Rose project will establish a roadmap that will help the Aging Network understand the significance and long-range vision inherent in the new long-term care provisions, and identify strategies and tactics that the various components of the Network can use to advance a coordinated approach to implementing the new provisions. The Benjamin Rose project identifies systematic work with the NASUA Planning Grants, N4A readiness assessments, Lewin Group ADRC technical assistance, Cash & Counseling, evidence-based disease and disability prevention, and the nursing home diversion grants, as critical components to a successful Roadmap. Major objectives: 1) develop a communication strategy for AoA and the Aging Services Network for the implementation of the new OAA long-term care provisions; 2) complete an aging network readiness review, working with the Aging Services Network, applicable National Associations and AoA grantees/contractors; 3) finalize and commence roll-out of the Roadmap for the Aging Services Network's role in long-term care; 4) provide technical assistance to the Network; 5) conduct information/training sessions with AoA headquarters staff and regional office staff to ensure consistent communication messaging to the Network (on-going). Benjamin Rose will work with AoA headquarters staff and select regional administrators to ensure successful project management.
