2012 n4a Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards

Full Report

Overview

Each year, the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) recognizes Area Agencies on Aging programs that exhibit innovative and sound management practices. This year’s Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards were presented at the n4A Annual Conference and Tradeshow on July 8, 2012.

Key Points

The n4a presents two types of awards: Aging Innovation Awards and Aging Achievement Awards. This year, 10 agencies were presented Aging Innovation Awards, meaning their programs were deemed the most innovative of all nominations. Meanwhile, the Aging Achievement Awards recognized 44 programs across categories such as Care Transitions, Caregiving, Community Planning/Livable Communities, Elder Abuse Prevention, Financial Assistance, Healthy Aging/Nutrition, Home & Community-Based Care, Medicaid Waiver/Medicare, Technology, Transportation, Volunteerism/Civic Engagement and a catch-all category called “You Name It!”
