Bill Would Expand Vets’ LTC Options
The Expanding Veterans’ Options for Long Term Care, which was introduced in the Senate in February, was reintroduced on April 4 in the House. The bill would establish a pilot program that would be conducted at six Veterans Integrated Services Networks (VISNs) nationwide with at least two program sites located in rural or highly rural areas and two sites at State Veterans Homes. LeadingAge has been working in coalition to support the reintroduction of this legislation and a quote indicating our support is included in the press release.
