Legal Basics: Older Americans Act Services and the HCBS Network

When: Monday, December 9, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET.

The Older Americans Act (OAA) provides an important foundation for the nation’s home and community-based services network. OAA-supported services include legal assistance, caregiver support, long-term care ombudsman assistance, and services to prevent the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults. Legal services programs can benefit from a clear understanding of the network of OAA-supported services, and the organizations involved in providing these valuable services.

This Legal Basics webcast will provide participants with a detailed understanding of the OAA’s history, the law’s guidance regarding funding and coordination of the aging network, and the collaboration between OAA legal services and the home and community-based services network. 

Presenters:

  • Fay Gordon, Project Manager, National Center on Law and Elder Rights
  • Amy Gotwals, Chief, Public Policy and External Affairs, National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a)

NOTE: This is a Legal Basics introduction to the Older Americans Act. For an in-depth exploration of capacity building for OAA-funded legal services programs, please see NCLER’s Issue Brief, The Older Americans Act in Action: Building & Cultivating Your Elder Law Program, and the webinar recording.

Closed captioning will be available on this webcast. A link with access to the captions will be shared through GoToWebinar’s chat box shortly before the webcast start time.

This training will be presented in a WEBCAST format to accommodate more participants. Due to the high volume of participants, computer audio will be the only option to listen to the presentation. No telephone call-in number will be provided. Please plan accordingly. Thank you. 

This webcast will be recorded and available on our website shortly after the presentation. The recording and training materials will also be emailed to all registrants within a few days after the training.
