SUMMARY:Systems of Care 101: A Cross-Sector Orientation for Practitioners Working with Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Register for the webinar here.\nLocation: Zoom\, hosted by UC Law SF (Will be recorded and available to registrants) \n  \nDescription \nOlder adults navigate a complex web of systems — health and long-term care\, housing\, and social services — that are often designed\, funded\, and delivered in silos. Practitioners working in one part of this landscape often have limited visibility into the others\, which can create gaps in referrals\, care coordination\, and advocacy. \nThis 90-minute online orientation is designed for practitioners who are already working in or adjacent to the aging field but have not had formal exposure to other systems of care. Whether you come from a health or long-term care setting\, a housing or community development role\, a legal or advocacy background\, or community-based social services work\, this session will give you a shared map of how the systems fit together\, what each one covers\, how it is funded\, and where the seams and gaps are. No prior expertise across all systems is assumed. \nThe session will describe national frameworks applicable to practitioners in any state but have special focus on California programs. Resources available in any state will be provided. \nAttendees will be encouraged to attend an in-person\, full day convening on Wednesday\, September 23rd at UC Law SF titled “Aging Well: Health\, Housing\, and Justice in California.” Free registration by September 1: https://www.uclawsf.edu/event/aging-well-health-housing-and-justice-in-california/ \n  \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the need for and role of long-term care supports and services among older adults. Explain the critical distinction between Medicare and Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) with respect to long term care coverage and why it matters for older adults and their families.\nDescribe the continuum of long-term care supports and services— from home and community-based services to skilled nursing facilities — and explain how it is accessed and financed.\nIdentify the major housing options for older adults\, including subsidized\, supportive\, and age-restricted housing\, and explain the funding and eligibility landscape for each.\nIdentify the structure and key services of the aging services network under the Older Americans Act.\nShare an example of how these systems intersect and create gaps in care for older adults.\nApply a cross-system lens to their own practice by identifying at least one referral pathway or coordination opportunity outside their primary area of work.\n\nSpeakers \nLauren Carden\, Director\, California Housing Advocacy\, Justice in Aging \nKelly Dearman\, Executive Director\, Department of Disability & Aging Services\, San Francisco Human Services Agency \nSarah Hooper\, Professor of Practice\, Associate Dean and Executive Director of the UCSF-UC Law SF Consortium \nJarmin Yeh\, Associate Professor\, Institute for Health & Aging\, UCSF
