Contact: Lisa Sanders, lsanders@leadingage.org 202-508-9407

“The stakes could not be higher for older adults and families who need help now. And don’t forget, half of all Americans will need long-term services and supports at some point as they age—so all of our futures also rest in Congress’s hands.”
