This House resolution says Congress should enact an Older Americans Bill of Rights. The proposed rights cover affordable health care and long-term care, financial and retirement security, and participation in community life. They include support for caregivers, protections against abuse and fraud, accessible housing and transportation, broadband access, and accessible voting. The resolution expresses the House’s view; it does not itself establish these rights.
The resolution urges Congress to take further action. It does not specify immediate changes to services or benefits for older adults.
