Gauging the needs of rural seniors through a national lens

This report captures a House hearing that centers on how federal aging programs work in small communities, with a focus on rural America and the Older Americans Act. It highlights real-world challenges, successes, and policy questions facing seniors and the agencies that serve them.

The proceedings bring together local leaders from South Dakota and the Mountain Plains region, case studies of senior centers, and discussions on Title III, VII, XX, and V programs. It explores transportation, nutrition, home and community-based care, and the push to keep aging services ongoing and responsive to rural realities. The testimony reflects advocates’ calls for stronger funding, streamlined rules, and a lasting, community‑driven approach to elder support.
