Multisector Plans for Aging
Developing and following a strategic, cross-sector, and comprehensive plan is crucial to addressing the diverse needs of older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers in state LTSS systems. Multisector Plans for Aging (formerly referred to as Master Plans for Aging) fulfill this need. The SCAN Foundation describes Multisector Plans for Aging as having the following elements: a.) planned for ten or more years; b) led by a governor with other executive and legislative leaders; and c) developed to guide the restructuring of state and local policy, programs, and funding toward aging well in the community. Using April 2023 data from The SCAN Foundation, this Scorecard offers full credit to three states (California, Colorado, and Massachusetts) with a developed/implemented Multisector Plan for Aging and partial credit to five states (Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Utah, and Vermont) with legislation/executive orders for such plans.
