Home Care Path supports S.1028 Amendment of OAA 2013

Home Care Path favors passing S.1028 introduced on May 23, 2013 as the Older Americans Act Amendment of 2013.  Co-Sponsored by Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin.  The amendment reauthorizes funding till 2018 for the (OAA) Older Americans Act the federal law that funds local operations of central services like meals on wheels, care giver support, and community initiatives aimed at keeping seniors safe in their own homes.

With this amendment to update the continuation of delivery at the local level comes authorization for some new demonstration projects. This includes:

Modernization of multipurpose senior centers

New models of care coordination

Advanced aide deployment

Improved access to medically recommended dental care low income older adults

Establishing a national resource center on family care giving

This gives shape to funding policy that encourages communities to develop the infrastructure capable of meeting the ongoing needs of an aging population.  Purposeful planning to allow seniors to retain the American dream of continuing to live in their own home.  Home Care Path encourages readers to watch this legislative issue as time unfolds.
