Guiding Priniciples of Leading Age Georgia in representing Aging Adult
- Older adults have a right to be treated with dignity and respect.
- Services and programs should be provided to older adults in a manner which is least intrusive, provides empowerment to the extent possible and promotes independence, all balanced with the necessity of protection of older adults not capable of self-care or assistance to older adults who have diminished capacity for total self-care.
- Older adults have a right to a safe and nurturing environment and have a right to expect society to provide protection through laws, regulations, and policies, which protect older adult’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Providers should not be constrained by regulation and policy that limits their ability to provide exceptional care and services in a cost-effective manner.
- Older adults should be able to expect appropriate services, whether living in their own homes or elsewhere. In furtherance of this goal government must adequately fund and maintain standards for services to older adults at a level which is economically viable so that providers may maintain high standards and quality of care across a spectrum of services.
- Education and sufficient information are necessary so that older adults can be informed decision makers.
- Older adults should have access to preventive, remedial, and long-term health care. Government policies should facilitate the availability of a spectrum of services to aging persons.
- Government health care plans should cover a continuum of care for older adults in order to ensure quality services and independence of older adults to the maximum extent feasible.
