In summer of 2023, NACo partnered with the National Academy of State Health Policy to survey county leaders on the delivery of aging services and supports available to the caregivers of older adults. This action guide highlights those survey findings, the challenges and opportunities for counties and key strategies and recommendations for raising public awareness and improving service delivery for aging adults and their caregivers.

This action guide was made possible by a grant from The John A. Hartford Foundation to the National Academy for State Health Policy in collaboration with the U.S. Administration for Community Living as part of its work implementing the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers
