Pennsylvania Department of Aging Secretary Jason Kavulich will kick off a statewide tour highlighting how the department's new approach to monitoring protective services is delivering better results in keeping older adults safe, leaving behind a prior pass/fail system. This new, modern tool allows the department to do away with a simple pass/fail scoring system and comprehensively ask "what does this local agency specifically need to improve?"
That tool, the Comprehensive Aging Performance Evaluation (CAPE), is also providing historic levels of transparency and accountability of the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) network that provides those services.
