Connections, Coordination and Celebration

Sarah E. Toevs

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.
