LeadingAge had a discussion with the VA’s Central Office Division of Purchased Long Term Services and Supports to discuss expanding collaboration between our members and VA, including the impact of the newly passed Elizabeth Dole Act on respite services for veterans and their families, restructuring of reauthorizations processes for home health and home care, and incentives for veterans to utilize adult day.  

We look forward to continuing the conversation, as VA noted their interest in ongoing sessions to talk about enhancing our partnership in order to serve more vets aging in the community.
