Federal Aging Event to Shape Policy Proposals
Long term care and income planning issues crop up often on the agenda for the upcoming 2005 White House Conference on Aging.
The 4-day conference, required by the federal Older Americans Act Amendments of 2000, is scheduled to start Dec. 11 at a hotel in Washington.
Conference participants are supposed to “develop not more than 50 recommendations to guide the president, Congress and federal agencies in serving older individuals,” Edwin Walker, a deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, writes in a preamble to the conference agenda.
