Reversing the Systemic Tide to Truly Lift All Boats.

- Abstract
Ageism and ableism negatively impact the aging experience, especially for elders from historically marginalized groups (Black, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Hispanic and Latinx, Native American Indian, and LGBTQ+ elders and people with disabilities). This article argues that to enable people of all backgrounds and all disabilities to age with dignity, we need policies and programs that aim to enhance the health and well-being of diverse older adults and their caregivers. At the same time, we must also dismantle long held perceptions and social constructs that perpetuate ageism and ableism.
