Tuesday, May 13,
10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Massachusetts State House (pick-up and drop-off at Abermarle Field House, 250 Abermarle Road)
We Are Here! By 2030, Massachusetts is projected to have more than two million residents age 60+, representing 28.4% of the total population, yet older adults and people with disabilities are being short-changed and underfunded for critical home and community-based services – programs that ultimately generate significant savings for the state while allowing consumers to remain in their homes with better health outcomes and higher quality of life.
Please join us at the State House to let your legislators know that We Are Here and urge them to fund and support quality, effective, and cost-efficient home and community-based services during lobby day!
