1.This Act may be cited as
the Older Americans Act Amendments of
2012
.
2.Congress finds the following:
(1)Older adults are
the fastest growing segment of the Nation’s population, in the Nation’s
history.
(2)Every day, 10,000
Baby Boomers turn 65.
(3)One in every 5 of
those individuals age 65 and older survives on an average of $7,500 a
year.
(4)Older adults
haven’t seen a cost of living adjustment in Federal benefits, including
assistance under the Social Security Act, in more than 2 years and will only
see a very slight cost of living adjustment in those benefits for this fiscal
year.
(5)Federal funding
to support older adults and their caregivers has not kept pace with
inflation.
(6)Only 7 percent of
individuals who are food insecure are getting a home-delivered meal.
(7)The cost of
staying in a nursing home is averaging over $77,000 per year.
(8)The Medicaid
program is paying for the majority of nursing home care.
(9)The number of
elder abuse and neglect cases is soaring.
(10)States are
cutting budgets for Medicaid programs, and the cuts sometimes result in nursing
homes dropping older adults off at homeless shelters.
(11)By making
significant improvements through the Older Americans Act Amendments of 2012, it
is possible to improve the lives of millions of older adults, and ensure that
they receive all of the supports and services that they need to stay healthy
and active in their homes and communities.
