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.
