This Week: Senior Living Advocates Tell Their Story on Capitol Hill

Written by Argentum | March 12, 2024 at 1:45 PM

Argentum's Public Policy Institute (PPI) is underway with more than 100 advocates joining together in Washington, D.C. this week to help tell the story of senior living.

Yesterday, U.S. Representatives Lori Trahan (D-MA-3) led a keynote address to promote the SENIOR Act, legislation she just introduced to increase access and affordability of assisted living and address the industry's workforce needs, which will demand more than 20 million workers across long-term care by 2040.

U.S. Representative Lori Trahan (D-MA), a lead sponsor of the SENIOR Act, speaking yesterday at Argentum's Public Policy Institute on the importance of the legislation.

Attendees are preparing to head to Capitol Hill to get their voices heard on the SENIOR Act, the Care Across Generations Act (to foster intergenerational connections by co-locating childcare and senior living communities), and the veterans assisted living pilot program legislation (to finally give veterans a choice in their long-term care).

We are calling on all Argentum Advocates to join us in our day of action by sending pre-written letters to Congress in support of these bills! All you have to do is click the buttons below, add your contact information, and click "Send message." That's it! The more messages that lawmakers receive, the more likely they are to review the legislation and cosponsor it. And with more than 100 senior living advocates on Capitol Hill this week, your messages have an outsized impact in spreading the word on the importance of our priority bills.

You are also encouraged to share these alerts with your friends, neighbors, and colleagues who support assisted living.

Thank you for your participation as Argentum Advocates!
