Abstract
Older adults are overrepresented in rural and less populated communities, and the programs and caregivers serving them have unique needs. Using the Idaho Caregiver Alliance as a case study, Toevs presented on best practices to increase connection and coordination between caregivers, community partners and statewide resources, as well as the importance of celebration.
With a mission centered on collaboration, the alliance engages more than 400 family caregivers and individuals who work to support family caregivers across the lifespan. To increase coordination across Idaho for state-level initiatives and stakeholders, the alliance developed a state action plan for family caregivers.
“The plan is supported by members of the Idaho Legislature and the alliance provides regular updates to policymakers,” said Toevs.
