Family Caregiving Across the Full Life Span
Amendments to the Older Americans Act (PL 100-175) in 1987 and 1992 targeted provision ofservices by area agencies on aging (AAAs) to persons with developmental disabilities and theirfamily caregivers. This article reports on a survey ofAAAs throughout the United States to assessthe success and commitment ofAAAs in implementing these provisions. Specifically, the surveyassessed the presence of related organizational mechanisms, services, and linkages to otheragencies. Most AAAs reported the presence of services and linkages related to serving thispopulation. Organizational mechanisms within AAAs that were likely to develop and sustainoptions for these families were less evident. AAAs generally reported that they had no reliableestimate of the number of older persons providing primary care to adults with a developmentaldisability in their catchment area. It is recommended that families, advocates, and state units onaging encourage AAAs to carry out local needs assessments and more vigorously developorganizational mechanisms within their agencies to provide support to older caregivers of adultswith a developmental disability.
