there was an early onset bill that has been introduced in the House and the Senate that I think would be perfect to incorporate into any future Older Americans Act reauthorization.
As someone who worked a career for almost 30 years serving mostly older adults, therapists, previously a licensed nursing home administrator, the Older Americans Act is incredibly important.
I experienced that. My mother lived with Alzheimer's for 10 years. It stole her identity, her memories, and then her life eventually.

One of the covered populations under the Older Americans Act obviously are those who are living with Alzheimer's disease.
