SEC. 10. GUIDANCE ON SERVING HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS.

    (a) In General.--Because the services under the Older Americans Act 
of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.) are critical to meeting the urgent 
needs of Holocaust survivors to age in place with dignity, comfort, 
security, and quality of life, the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall 
issue guidance to States, that shall be applicable to States, area 
agencies on aging, and providers of services for older individuals, 
with respect to serving Holocaust survivors, including guidance on 
promising practices for conducting outreach to that population. In 
developing the guidance, the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall 
consult with experts and organizations serving Holocaust survivors, and 
shall take into account the possibility that the needs of Holocaust 
survivors may differ based on geography.
    (b) Contents.--The guidance shall include the following:
            (1) How nutrition service providers may meet the special 
        health-related or other dietary needs of participants in 
        programs under the Older Americans Act of 1965, including needs 
        based on religious, cultural, or ethnic requirements.
            (2) How transportation service providers may address the 
        urgent transportation needs of Holocaust survivors.
            (3) How State long-term care ombudsmen may address the 
        unique needs of residents of long-term care facilities for whom 
        institutional settings may produce sights, sounds, smells, 
        emotions, and routines, that can induce panic, anxiety, and 
        retraumatization as a result of experiences from the Holocaust.
            (4) How supportive services providers may consider the 
        unique needs of Holocaust survivors.
            (5) How other services provided under that Act, as 
        determined by the Assistant Secretary for Aging, may serve 
        Holocaust survivors.
    (c) Date of Issuance.--The guidance described in subsection (a) 
shall be issued not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
