July 2015 marked the 80th anniversary of Social Security and the 50th anniversary of Medicare, Medicaid and the Older Americans Act (Pub.L. 89–73, 79 Stat. 218). Originally enacted in 1965, the Older Americans Act was the first federal initiative intended to provide various home and community-based services, including meals-on-wheels and other nutrition programs, in-home services, transportation, legal services, elder abuse prevention and caregivers support.
These anniversaries were celebrated on July 13, at the White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA), where the current administration announced initiatives to expand upon the services addressed in the Older Americans Act. As president of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), I had the honor and privilege of being one of 200 invited guests at the Conference.
