Along with Social Security and Medicare, the Older Americans Act plays a central role in enabling seniors to live with dignity as they age. I was a proud cosponsor of the renewal of the Older Americans Act, which was reauthorized in 2000.

By helping to fund our senior centers, the Act plays a critical role in the support network and friendships of senior citizens who might otherwise be isolated in their homes. The Act also addresses seniors' nutritional health by providing meals at senior centers and delivering them to seniors' homes. In addition to the nutrition program, the Act funds the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, which investigates complaints made by or on behalf of seniors who are residents of long-term care facilities. By funding home care and elder abuse prevention services, the Act works to protect the well being of seniors at risk for suffering abuse and comes to the aide of seniors who need help at home.
