AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill provides federal funding for fiscal years 2027 through 2030 for programs that prevent and respond to abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults and adults with disabilities. It replaces the nursing home worker training grant program with $410 million per year in grants to states and tribes. States must use the money for wage subsidies, tuition and licensing exam fees, child care, and transportation help for aides, practical nurses, and social workers in nursing homes, home health, hospice, and similar settings. It also funds adult protective services, including $500 million per year in state grants with a share reserved for tribes, along with long-term care ombudsman programs. It creates new grants for medical-legal partnerships, legal hotlines, and programs addressing social isolation, and requires regular reports to Congress.
