SEC. 10. <<NOTE: State governments. 42 USC 3001 note.>> GUIDANCE 
                      ON SERVING HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS.

    (a) <<NOTE: Applicability.>> 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. <<NOTE: Consultation.>> 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.
