To understand the impact of the lack of a basic income benefit, this study explored the perspectives of retired pensioners on late life precarity in Addis Ababa. An exploratory descriptive study using interviews and focus group discussions was conducted with 31 retirees age 60 + . Data were analyzed thematically. The findings highlight five major life challenges of retirees leading to precarious lives in Ethiopia: unattended health issues and unaffordable health care; absence of recreational places; lack of respect and feeling disengaged; vulnerable livelihoods; and overlooked value and contribution of older adults. The findings underscore the need to employ intersectional perspectives in future studies for better understanding of inequality and inequity in aging in resource-poor contexts. Furthermore, the findings underline the need for national policies aimed at improving the well-being and quality of life of both retirees and all older adults. By implementing a social protection policy, creating elder-focused community centers, and implementing sustainable income-generating initiatives, Ethiopia can ensure that older citizens receive the necessary support needed to thrive and enjoy a fulfilling late life.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145259596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HCBHS included home nursing, in-home doctor visits, rehabilitation, assistive medical devices, and health lectures. Latent class analysis was used to identify patterns of unmet needs for HCBHS, and multinomial logistic models were used to determine the associated factors. Three unmet needs patterns were identified: no needs/met needs (68.4%), unmet needs (11.1%), and uncertain needs (20.5%). Experiencing pain, depression, self-rated health, higher health workforce density, and region were significantly associated with both unmet and uncertain needs. Furthermore, education, living in urban areas, type of social pension, instrumental activities of daily living, and heart disease were found to be associated with unmet needs, while age, marital status, and household income were associated with uncertain needs.

A Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey collects data about these services, including transportation. Since 2021, Indiana has collected HCBS CAHPS data annually from A&D waiver participants for internal quality improvement, including demographics, self-reported overall and mental health ratings, and unmet needs. Among 4,199 CAHPS survey respondents, 22.1% reported an unmet need in transportation to medical appointments. Survey-weighted logistic regression was used to estimate how participant characteristics were associated with transportation unmet needs. Poor ratings of physical health and female sex were associated with greater unmet transportation needs. Black/African American race was associated with fewer unmet transportation needs and may reflect Black respondents were more likely to have urban residence than White respondents.

This new regulatory framework was developed by a group of stakeholders representing consumer advocates, provider advocates, and state government. However, assisted living providers who served culturally specific communities (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color) in small facilities were largely absent from the development of this new license. As a result, several unintended consequences and challenges have emerged in implementation in these settings. We interviewed a sample of 14 licensed assisted living directors operating small, culturally specific communities to understand their experiences with the regulatory framework. After a qualitative analysis, four main themes emerged: (1) lack of participation in the initial license development, (2) challenges to implementation of license requirements, (3) inconsistency in and preparation for survey inspections, and (4) inadequate reimbursement and funding. To address these concerns, a number of recommendations were identified, which ranged from ensuring all stakeholders are engaged in policy development to developing a new rate setting methodology for Medicaid waivers. Although these recommendations are specific to Minnesota, they do have implications for other states and agencies who are developing similar regulations.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic search was conducted to identify peer-reviewed literature through Web of Science, SocINDEX, Academic Search Complete, Humanities International Complete, and Scopus, and gray literature through Google Scholar, institutional repositories, and expert recommendations. The eligibility criteria are original empirical studies focusing on individuals aged 50 years and older and their participation in policymaking. In total, 23 studies were included in the final review. A structured extraction form was developed to capture study characteristics, participant socio-demographics, participation activities, policy outputs and outcomes, and factors affecting participation. Descriptive analysis was performed on study characteristics, and content analysis was conducted on participation processes. Most studies (78%) were conducted in high-income countries, often overrepresenting women, younger cohorts, more educated and community-dwelling older adults. This participation was often ad hoc rather than institutionally established and supported. Older adults contributed to developing policy documents, shaping long-term outcomes, and enhancing personal well-being. The review identified participation enablers at individual and institutional levels and highlighted barriers such as time and resource constraints, health limitations, power imbalances, and ageism. The findings inform policy and program interventions to establish mechanisms for older adults' participation, address barriers for disadvantaged groups, and create meaningful pathways for translating their contributions into policy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing Moustakas' transcendental phenomenology and the Modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method, the study involved one-on-one, in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 20 older adults across six senior living facilities in an urban neighborhood. Five critical themes emerged: preservation of personal space, balance between consistency and adaptability, effective communication and meticulous execution, unobtrusive safety practices, and the everyday construction of dignity through routine care. Each theme, beyond its functional significance, carried emotional, psychological, and social importance, collectively enhancing the quality of life of older adults. By repositioning everyday services as active sites of meaning-making, this study challenges conventional assumptions about what constitutes \"care\" in institutional aging.

Housing insecurity also disproportionately impacts communities of color and women due to decades of exclusion from home ownership and wealth inequities. Many policies addressing homelessness tend to employ a crisis-centered approach, silo health and housing and offer few culturally responsive options for an increasingly diverse clientele. This commentary argues that nonprofit homesharing programs provide an undervalued and underused upstream tool that could potentially help prevent homelessness among older adults. Homesharing presents a promising model to address housing instability by matching home providers who have a spare room or space on their property with home seekers in exchange for rent and sometimes services. Building on established research and emerging studies on homeshare programs, this article outlines several strengths from homesharing and why this housing model deserves more attention from researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and funders. Homesharing offers a potential strategy to prevent older adult homelessness by blending housing and health. It also offers culturally responsive approaches to serve an aging population facing first-time homelessness, especially older adults who are low-income and those who identify as persons of color, sexual and gender minorities, and/or women.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145187265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
