Summary

The Aging With Dignity Act adds a presumption that Medicaid recipients 55 and older receive home‑ and community‑based services, requires regular medication reviews, integrates behavioral health, and screens for social isolation. It funds a senior‑housing pilot, strengthens the long‑term‑care ombudsman, builds a geriatric workforce pipeline, and launches a caregiver stipend program. A new Aging Study Commission will evaluate the state’s aging policies and report by the end of 2027.
