SENIOR Act

This bill amends the Older Americans Act to explicitly address loneliness among seniors by adding it to existing provisions about social isolation. It requires the federal government to prepare a report within five years, examining how current programs tackle loneliness's health impacts, geographic prevalence, and preventive services. The report must also analyze multigenerational family connections' role in reducing loneliness and recommend policy improvements. The bill directly affects older individuals served by programs under the Older Americans Act, focusing on health outcomes linked to social isolation. It does not create new funding but directs existing programs to coordinate services addressing loneliness.
