Older Americans Act of 1965.
In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Older Americans Act of 1965 into being. The act was meant to allow older Americans to enjoy more benefits of society, including the areas of employment, retirement, health care, housing, and community service.
The Act contains six titles.
- Title I
Assures the American elderly of their continued well-being. - Title II
Established the government Administration on Aging to help oversee the Act and its effectiveness on the aging community. - Title III
Provided a wide variety of grants for communities to use in planning services and training for application of the Act in their communities. This was the biggest part of the Act and it required states to develop a statewide plan for dealing with the elderly. - Title IV
Made grants available for researching and developing understanding about America's aging population. - Title V
Offered grants for aging education in America's schools and universities. - Title VI
Was the oversight title that oversaw and administered the grants and programs created by the Older Americans Act of 1965.
Reauthorized.
The federal government reauthorized the Older Americans Act in 2000. This new authorization extended the program until 2005. The Act was amended yet again in 2006 creating even more opportunities for seniors.
The Act ultimately created a series of services geared to the aging population in every state, with stipulations about the services and how they were to be handled. It attempted to make life for the elderly more bearable and equal, and it attempted to give them a measure of dignity as they grew older.
Housing
Another element of the Act was housing, which is still a very important consideration for the elderly. Life Alarm Services weren't available in 1965, so many seniors had to give up their homes and live in institutions. Today, alarm services like Life Alarm Services allow seniors to stay in their homes, even if they live alone. Seniors are secure in the knowledge that they can reach emergency services quickly and easily if they need to, just by using their Life Alarm Services which are always just a fingertip away.
