  • What’s At Stake for Older Adults and Their Care Providers in the New Year?

    Community Baptist Church of Englewood 224 1st Street, Englewood, New Jersey

    While new policy and program shifts may result from the recent elections, they won't happen for some time. Meanwhile, Federal legislation taking full effect in the New Year will have consequential impacts on Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and other programs that older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers rely upon. What does this evolving federal landscape mean for Bergen County’s health and social service provider agencies? And more importantly what does it mean for the people you serve? Come to this important Roundtable for a primer on subjects that all who work on behalf of older and disabled populations need to be educated about. Speakers: Medicare Rights Center, an NYC-based nonprofit organization that offers health insurance counseling, education and advocacy, will tell us about its new policy education series entitled, “What’s at Stake for Older Adults and People With Disabilities” AARP New Jersey State Director Chris Widelo will speak about expected impacts to New Jersey’s Medicaid program and other state services impacting older adults in the Garden State as well as state legislative and policy issues to be aware of next year. Please join us for this crucially important program!
