Argentum’s priority legislation, the Caring for Seniors Act (H.R. 3000) was recently introduced in Congress by Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Lori Trahan (D-MA) to address access and affordability of assisted living and the industry’s workforce needs. Specifically, the legislation would:
- Create a cost-reduction program allowing seniors to choose assisted living care instead of costlier skilled nursing facilities that rely on Medicaid
- Re-target existing HHS and DOL workforce training programs like Job Corps, American Job Centers and others to offer specializations in senior care.
