About Us

Established in 1961, the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging is one of the nation’s premier and longest-standing centers for applied aging research that is part of a home and community-based service delivery organization.

The Institute conducts state-of-the-art research to develop and deliver innovative, high-quality solutions to advance support for older adults and caregivers and to deepen the understanding of their evolving needs in a changing society.

As a thought leader in aging, we share our knowledge in professional channels and with the wider community to promote best practices that are implemented by social service and community-based agencies and health systems across the US. Through our advocacy practices, we also promote effective public policies that support the wellbeing of aging adults and those who care for them. 

Positioned within a service, research and advocacy organization, the Institute is uniquely qualified to collaborate with health and social service providers in translating research findings into evidence-based programs and other useful products and resources for professionals and public.

Innovative programs and services are developed by the Institute and implemented by the services sectors of Benjamin Rose, as well as other service organizations across the country.
