NCAL, along with several other long term care, veterans’, and Alzheimer’s related organizations, recently sent a
letter to U.S. Congressional leadership encouraging support of
H.R. 8371, the
Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act. This bill includes provisions from
S. 495 /
H.R. 1815, the Expanding Veterans’ Options for Long Term Care Act, which would implement a three-year pilot program to assess the effectiveness of allowing veterans to access assisted living for their long term care needs.
NCAL has long supported the Expanding Veterans’ Options for Long Term Care Act, and will be encouraging support for this important policy at AHCA/NCAL’s Congressional Briefing event June 3-4 in Washington, D.C.
