Everyone deserves to age with dignity. The challenge for America’s older adults? “Too many older adults don’t have the resources they need to age well,” NCOA President and CEO Ramsey Alwin says in an interview with Scripps News.
Hear what else she has to say about rising poverty rates among older adults and the $30 billion in benefits that go unclaimed each year because people don’t realize they’re eligible for help with things like food, medicine, and other basic needs.

About NCOA
Since 1950, we’ve walked beside generations of Americans. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. And we built digital tools that empower older adults with knowledge.
Now, we’re stepping forward to do even more. Americans are living longer, but far too many are being left behind without the resources to age with dignity. We’re changing that.
We believe aging well is something every American deserves—regardless of gender, color, sexuality, income, or ZIP code. We deliver the resources, tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security.
