Argentum's priority legislation, the Caring for Seniors Act, has officially been introduced in Congress! The legislation is led by Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Lori Trahan (D-MA), and is intended to address access and affordability of assisted living and the industry's workforce needs.

H.R. 3000, the Caring for Seniors Act (previously known as the 'Safeguarding Elderly Needs for Innovation and Occupational Resources' or 'SENIOR' Act) would:

1. Create a cost-reduction program allowing seniors to choose assisted living care instead of costlier skilled nursing facilities that rely on Medicaid.
2. Re-target existing HHS and DOL workforce training programs like Job Corps, American Job Centers and others to offer specializations in senior care.
