Because the services under the Older Americans Act of 1965 ( 42 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. ) are critical to meeting the urgent needs of Holocaust survivors to age in place with dignity, comfort, security, and quality of life, the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall issue guidance to States, that shall be applicable to States, area agencies on aging, and providers of services for older individuals, with respect to serving Holocaust survivors, including guidance on promising practices for conducting outreach to that population.
In developing the guidance, the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall consult with experts and organizations serving Holocaust survivors, and shall take into account the possibility that the needs of Holocaust survivors may differ based on geography. The guidance shall include the following: How nutrition service providers may meet the special health-related or other dietary needs of participants in programs under the Older Americans Act of 1965, including needs based on religious, cultural, or ethnic requirements.
How transportation service providers may address the urgent transportation needs of Holocaust survivors. How State long-term care ombudsmen may address the unique needs of residents of long-term care facilities for whom institutional settings may produce sights, sounds, smells, emotions, and routines, that can induce panic, anxiety, and retraumatization as a result of experiences from the Holocaust. How supportive services providers may consider the unique needs of Holocaust survivors.
How other services provided under that Act, as determined by the Assistant Secretary for Aging, may serve Holocaust survivors. The guidance described in subsection
(a)shall be issued not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
