On March 31, LeadingAge senior leaders met with staff from the White House Office of Public Engagement to discuss several critical issues, including ongoing dialogue on our request for a central coordinating office of aging within the White House, the Home and Community-Based Services “settings rule” and its inapplicability to aging services, the need to rebalance White House messaging on nursing homes, and other concerns.

Staff appeared to hear LeadingAge members’ concerns and committed to following up. We anticipate continued conversation on these and other issues.
