Maintain Me Follows not only by leading Governance Committee with Colorado Placement & Referral Alliance (COPRA) but also follows as the Colorado Center For Aging (CCA) learns and plans their support of new bills as they enter the state legislation.
Here is a new bill that has come into play for 2024 that will directly affect spending for senior services. Check it out!
Lastly, State Funding for Senior Services: This bill pertains to the Area Agencies on Aging. Our local AAA is DRCOG: Area Agency on Aging | DRCOG. This incredibly valuable program is both a State and National Program for older adults. Our AAA also hosts the Ombudsman Program which is an Advocacy Division for older adults living in Assisted Living, Memory Care or Skilled Nursing. If something is not right in one of these senior living communities, the Ombudsman is the person to contact for support to address the concerns.
Pretty important work they do at AAA's for at risk older adults and those who need senior services.
