The "Supporting Our Seniors Act" establishes a Commission on Long-Term Care , comprising 12 members appointed by the President and congressional leaders. These members must possess diverse expertise in areas such as palliative care, home and community-based services, workforce development, aging, disability advocacy, and long-term care financing. The Commission is tasked with bringing together a broad range of perspectives to address critical issues in long-term care. The Commission's primary duty is to submit annual policy recommendations to Congress, the President, federal agencies, and the public. These recommendations will cover crucial topics, including long-term care coverage for non-Medicaid eligible populations, financing options for low- and middle-income individuals, and strategies for supporting aging in place. It will also focus on caregiver supports, workforce stability, and ensuring access to comprehensive care, including geriatric and palliative services, while addressing affordability. Further recommendations will consider children and non-senior adults with disabilities, support for adult children caring for aging parents through health benefits and tax incentives, and integrating community services. The Commission will also explore reducing hospitalization costs through increased access to home-based care via Medicare and Medicaid programs. To inform its work, the Commission is mandated to consult regularly with various stakeholder groups and relevant federal advisory commissions, operating for 10 years from enactment.
