Description:

By 2032, Medicare spending is projected to reach $1.9 trillion, largely due to growth in the Medicare population and increases in health care costs. As society ages, the demand for health care services intensifies, exacerbating shortages of health care workers, particularly in long-term care facilities. Caregivers also play a crucial role in supporting the health and well-being of older adults, while facing the substantial health and economic implications of providing care. Additionally, older adults often experience health disparities from unequal access to services, which lead to poorer health outcomes. These challenges underscore the urgent need to make health care more affordable and accessible for older adults.

Speakers will discuss:

• Health care costs and care delivery models, including home health care, and the long-term care workforce.
• The latest research on improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities.
• Lessons from a successful Medicare Advantage program for caregivers that is improving the quality of care and lowering costs.
