First, I thank the gentlewoman from Oregon for introducing this amendment. I rise in support of it. We have to really let our seniors know that we care about them. My mother passed away a couple of years ago. She was 90 years old. I recognized personally the importance of comprehensive services to ensure that our seniors have a quality of life that they so deserve in their senior years. This also helps taxpayers and families avoid paying for more expensive healthcare and long-term care services. So I thank the gentlewoman again on behalf of our constituents. This will strengthen our communities, and I ask for an ``aye'' vote.
