Senate Special Committee on Aging Holds Hearing on HCBS

​Last week, the Senate Special Committee on Aging held a hearing entitled “An Economy that Cares: The Importance of Home-Based Services.” Led by Committee chair Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), the hearing focused on the dire need for investment in the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program. 

The members of the Committee acknowledged the workforce crisis that our industry is facing while witnesses spoke of the importance of reliable, high-quality home care to millions of Americans. “An investment in home-based care is an investment in families and our Nation,” said Sen. Casey. Video of the hearing can be viewed here.
