The National Council on Aging announced a new website on Oral Health supported by the Administration for Community Living. The new website states:
The Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) mission is to maximize the independence, wellbeing, and health of older adults, people with disabilities across the lifespan, and their families and caregivers. Because oral health is integral to overall health, ACL is committed to improving the oral health of older adults. In October 2014, with funding from the Office on Women’s Health, ACL entered into a three-year agreement with The Lewin Group to identify and promote vetted, low-cost, community-based oral health programs that have the potential to serve older adults. Ultimately, this project aims to share a searchable database of oral health programs and The Community Guide to Adult Oral Health Program Implementation (Oral Health Guide) with all communities interested in starting or enhancing their own oral health program for underserved older adults.
