Supporting Our Seniors

May 13, 2024
As the elderly population steadily grows, there is an urgency to provide resources and assistance to this community. During the 2024 Legislative Session, we took a significant bipartisan step toward achieving that goal by passing HB 5001, a top priority for House Democrats this session. 
HB 5001 protects and prioritizes elderly residents in our state. This bill: 
  • Makes it easier for seniors to age in place
  • Creates a nursing home database, providing consumers with an easy and reliable way to compare locations around the state
  • Establishes incentives to encourage nursing homes to improve care

I am glad to support a bill that gives seniors the attention and resources that they deserve.
