Improve living and aging in Connecticut
Last week, I had the opportunity to take part in an informational forum focusing on federal programs that provide a wide array of services to seniors living in our state and around the country. It was an excellent opportunity to speak about the benefits of community-based care with some of our elected officials who represent us in Washington, D.C.
Gas cap will help with the pain at the pump
Families throughout our state are trying to make ends meet, and rising gas prices are not helping. Whether we commute to work or pick up groceries, we must purchase gas to get where we need to go. You may not be aware, but every time you fill up your car, you are paying three different taxes for the gasoline you purchase.
State should fund Alzheimer’s care
Throughout our state and nation, Alzheimer’s disease is an increasingly serious challenge for our seniors and the many families that care for them. As baby boomers continue to age, organizations have reported remarkable growth in the number of Alzheimer’s cases that are projected to develop over the next decade. This will certainly add extra strain to our state’s public health services that are currently at risk of being cut. Luckily, members of the legislature are dedicated to increasing future support to those who provide essential care for loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s.
The education debate
As parents, we know the value of a good education for our children. Many of us play a direct role in the education of our children by joining a Parent-Teacher Association, serving on the Board of Education, or simply by reading to our children or helping with homework. Ultimately, we want to give our children the best tools to succeed in life. This means we must ensure that our children get the best education possible.
