Low Income Home Energy AssistaCalling all AARP Montana Members; your help is needed!
There’s no place like home… help Montanans remain there as they age.
Most Montanans want to remain in their homes and communities as they age. AARP is asking the Legislature to expand home care services as an alternative to nursing home care. Currently nearly 500 people are on a waiting list for these services. Soon, the Montana Senate will decide whether or not to support Montana’s older population by expanding Home and Community Based Services – your help is needed to convince them they should.
Montanans want to remain in their homes and communities as they age.
A recent survey of AARP members in Montana showed that 70 percent of respondents ranked remaining in their homes as a top concern. And 75 percent said that helping people age in place should be a top legislative priority. That is why AARP Montana is working to expand the Medicaid Home and Community Based Services program.
We need your help
If you are concerned about the future of long term care in Montana and would like to help improve long term care options, please send a message to your state Senator about your concerns. Help ensure that Montanans have choices as they age – choices that include remaining in your own home and remaining in your community.
Make sure your concerns are heard.
Before the Senate votes on the final budget proposal in the weeks to come, it is important that they hear from every Montanan concerned about this very important issue. Nearly 500 Montanans are waiting for these services – it is time for the Senate to act.
Call your State Senator at 406-444-4800 and ask him or her to please support the Home and Community Based Services Program.
