A Bill to help veterans receive home health care will bear the name of Late Senator Bob Dole’s wife, Elizabeth, who tirelessly helped veterans throughout her own time as a Senator.
U. S. Senator Jerry Moran, and Senators Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Jon Tester of Montana joined him to introduce the Elizabeth Dole Home and Community Based Services for Veterans and Caregivers Act. He says the Bill will help expand community based services for aging and homebound veterans. Moran says the Bill would increase the expenditure cap for non-institutional care alternative programs from 65% to 100%. He says it also establishes partnerships to host alternative care programs in the community.
Also referred to at the Elizabeth Dole Act, Moran says the Legislation exemplifies the former Senator’s passion for finding lasting solutions for veterans in need of long-term care and their caregivers.
