ACES is home to national initiatives and research projects tackling complex challenges facing older adults, caregivers, healthcare organizations, and communities.
The National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment and the National Dementia Care Collaborative bring together researchers, clinicians, practitioners, policymakers, community partners, and people with lived experience to develop, test, translate, and spread approaches that improve care, safety, and quality of life.
Our federally-funded research projects examine the identification of and response to elder mistreatment, including a particular focus on elder mistreatment among people living with dementia.
These projects began at EDC and continue at UMass Boston as foundational initiatives within ACES, providing a strong base for the Network’s growing program of research and action.
Together, we will continue advancing practical, evidence-informed approaches that support older adults, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and organizations.

ACES brings established projects together under one umbrella while preserving the identity, partnerships, and expertise that have made each initiative a trusted resource in its field.
The National Dementia Care Collaborative (NDCC) works to expand access to evidence-based comprehensive dementia care. It supports health systems, community partners, caregivers, and others seeking to implement and spread proven models of dementia care, including organizations participating in the CMS GUIDE Model.
The National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment (NCAEM) brings together expert partners to strengthen how healthcare and social service systems prevent, identify, and respond to elder mistreatment. Its work connects research, policy, implementation, and practice to help effective approaches become part of mainstream care.
