The government programs that deliver critical health care, medicine, long-term services and supports, and home and community based services to low-income seniors are extremely complex; and the policies that govern and control access to these programs are difficult to navigate and ever changing. Through our expertise in law, elder rights, and the rules that govern these programs, we ensure that low-income seniors have access to the health care they need, and to which they are entitled by law. Our health care and long-term services and supports (LTSS) advocacy is focused on three areas.
Defending and strengthening health care programs for older adults.
Building a health care and LTSS delivery system that honors choice, includes strong consumer protections, and provides opportunities for seniors to receive services at home and in their communities.
Ensuring programs and services are delivered without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, language ability, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or other potential disadvantage.
The opportunity to live with dignity, regardless of financial circumstances—free from the worry, harm, and injustice caused by lack of health care, food, or a safe place to sleep. By using the power of law to strengthen the social safety net, and remove the barriers low-income seniors face in trying to access the services they need, we work to ensure the future we all envision for our loved ones and ourselves.
