Three panels appearing before the Senate Special Committee on Aging discuss the sensitivity of the Administration on Aging to Native Americans, coordination of services between Title II and Title VI of the Older Americans Act, and availability of services under the act. Witnesses recommend language be included in the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act to fund Title VI at a level of $12.5 million for fiscal year 1987; $17.5 million for fiscal year 1988; and $20 million for fiscal year 1989. Experts report on analysis of computer data from a needs assessment of 813 older Indians in the United States and trends of a survey focusing on decreasing funding levels of Title VI grantees and how this impacts the targeting of service to older Indians who are already unserved and underserved. Recommendations to improve the Title VI program at project, tribal, and national levels include incorporating special diets into nutrition services because of high incidence of diabetes and hypertension among Indian elderly, continuing to provide unrestricted home delivered meals, including at least one Indian professional on the Office of State and Tribal Programs staff, and formulating a national policy on Indian aging. Appendices include Title VI history of funding reports from 22 tribes. (NEC)
