In September 2007, The Carle Foundation brought together a focus group to discuss senior issues with specific emphasis on healthcare, poverty, unmet needs, and gaps in service. [Download Senior Issues Focus Group Report (PDF, 200K).]

Most participants are employed by human care agencies which have services for seniors, and some are employed by a variety of health organizations. Topics discussed included identification and opinions about the perceived most profound problems facing seniors, those specifically related to poor seniors, health-related issues, and the different concerns faced by “younger” seniors, 50-64 years of age, and “older” seniors, 65 years and over. Specific subjects also included gaps and unmet senior needs and stumbling blocks related to solving these needs.
