The legislation is led by Representatives **Brian Fitzpatrick** (R-PA) and **Lori Trahan** (D-MA), and is intended to address access and affordability of assisted living and the industry’s workforce needs. [H.R. 3000](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/3000), the Caring for Seniors Act (previously known as the 'Safeguarding Elderly Needs for Innovation and Occupational Resources' or 'SENIOR' Act) would: 1. Create a cost-reduction program allowing seniors to choose assisted living care instead of costlier skilled nursing facilities that rely on Medicaid. 2. Re-target existing HHS and DOL workforce training programs like Job Corps, American Job Centers and others to offer specializations in senior care.
