520 |a Highlighting an on-going need to create programs that meet the multiple needs of minority aged, the Conference aimed to: identify the needs of the Hispanic Elderly in the Western Region, and develop program models which can be implemented in response to the needs. Workshop topics included: the need to coordinate the efforts and activities of the various national organizations dedicated to serving the Hispanic Elderly; planning models for effective services to Hispanic Seniors (Titles III and VII); Hispanic community participation; cultural, psychological and demographic profile of the Hispanic Elderly; future trends in minority aging; information and referral, a vital link between the Hispanic Elderly and service provider; and developing programs for the aged (legal, administrative, and fiscal aspects). The Conference was successful in: building bridges of communication between senior citizens, professionals, and legislators at the local, state, and Federal government levels; establishing lines of priority among the experts; and directing their resources toward the maximum good. Two recommendations which clearly stood out were the: need to increase fiscal expenditures on Hispanic-oriented programs and research; and need to maintain a national center or clearinghouse on the Hispanic Elderly. It was also deemed that bilingual communication was an important element in the successful delivery of services to the Hispanic Elderly. (NQ)
