Dear Neighbor,

Great news! The Aging Committee approved HB 5001, an omnibus bill that will provide further support to our seniors. 

This proposal is a priority of the House, and I am thrilled it is progressing through the legislative process. 

Issues impacting seniors are often ignored. Our elderly residents need support and access to resources that will provide them with the best quality of life possible. HB 5001 does this by: 

  • Requiring additional training of home care workers 
  • Creating a more efficient process for accessing Medicaid
  • Expanding the Office of Long-Term Care Ombudsman

Our aging population faces a growing list of challenges that are not isolated incidents. As our society gets older, these issues will only become more pronounced. HB 5001 not only acknowledges these complexities but also paves the way for crucial improvements. This legislation will ensure that our seniors will age gracefully. Next stop, the House Floor!

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns at Josh.Elliott@cga.ct.gov or 860-240-8585.

Sincerely,

Josh Elliott
