All LeadingAge NY members are strongly encouraged to call state legislative offices on the morning of Wed., March 4^th.

Please send digital letters to legislators, and share the links with your colleagues, board members, and volunteers. This is a critical moment to keep the funding needs of long-term care and aging services providers top of mind for decision-makers.

The amendments include some new spending, but unfortunately, the investments are not directed toward long-term care or aging services providers.

Please continue to send these digital advocacy letters to state legislators and the Governor, urging them to fund long-term care in the NYS budget. New nursing home letters now available!

The law includes conscience exemptions and takes effect in August.

LeadingAge NY President and CEO Sebrina Barrett testified at the Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Health/Medicaid today, calling for meaningful investments dedicated to long-term care and aging services.

The letter urges the creation of a State-funded program that would allow more affordable independent senior housing properties to offer on-site, on-request Resident Assistance to help low-income older adults age safely in their home while keeping high-cost health care and long-term care spending in check.

The program would allow more affordable senior housing properties to engage a staff person to help older adults understand and access the resources they need to remain independent. Use our new digital action letter to add your support today!
