States are taking a broader approach to healthy aging, with new policies focused on prevention, dementia awareness, caregiving, and long-term support for older adults. Lana McKinney, senior analyst for State Health Policy at ASTHO, discusses emerging trends in state healthy aging and dementia-related legislation, including new advisory councils, caregiver support programs, public education efforts, and requirements for dementia-capable training across health care, public safety, and direct care settings. She also explains how states are balancing upstream investments that help older adults maintain independence with the safety-net services needed when people experience cognitive or physical decline, and why caregiving is increasingly being recognized as a public health priority.
