Neste documento, utilizamos a expressão adultos mais velhos (older adults), porque é habitualmente utilizada pelos psicogerontológos e por ser o termo recomendado nas publicações da American Psychological Association (APA) (APA, 2010b). Estas Linhas de orientação têm como objectivo específico fornecer aos profissionais: a) um quadro de referência para o exercício da prática clínica com adultos mais velhos e, b) informações básicas e referências complementares nos domínios relacionados com atitudes, aspectos gerais do envelhecimento, questões clínicas, avaliação, intervenção, consultoria, questões do foro profissional, e educação e formação contínuas, que dizem respeito ao trabalho com este grupo etário.

  • State Plan on Aging Federal Fiscal Years 2017-2020
    State Plan on Aging Federal Fiscal Years 2017-2020 SAMUEL P. VERGHESE, SECRETARY RICK SCOTT, GOVERNOR July 2016 Executive Summary The Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) prepares a State Plan on Aging (State Plan) every three or four years as required by the Administration on Aging (AoA), part of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The State Plan provides strategic direction to the Florida elder services network and complies with instructions provided by AoA. Beyond the minimum required information, the State Plan addresses the following: key socio- demographic factors that will shape funding needs; priorities, unmet needs and promising practices identified by DOEA and the Area Agencies Aging (AAAs); and the Department’s objectives in working with the aging network to provide cost-effective, high quality services to Florida’s older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers. Florida has the highest proportion of residents age 60 and older in the nation, comprising a quarter of the state population (25.1%). More than 1.7 million Floridians are age 75 and older, and 100 and older is the fastest growing age group by percentage. Florida is also the state with the highest median age (39.3) and the highest old-age dependency ratio, which measures the number of elders as a share of those of working age. Growth among elder Floridians is expected to continue, with those age 60 and older comprising 30 percent of the state population by 2030. Florida has shown leadership and innovation in aging services that permit all Floridians to age with dignity, purpose, and independence.
