AGING CAREGIVERS
• The Council’s work brought together representatives
from the Aging and Developmental Disability
communities. These teams focused on improving
how they work together.
• To learn more about issues in aging, interviews
were held with 38 people with I/DD who have
aging caregivers and 60 professionals representing
state agencies, providers of aging and DD services,
advocacy groups, and regional or county groups.
• The area that most people interviewed thought
needed improvement was the issue of paid
caregivers.
