Assemblyman Steve Englebright: Making a difference for seniors |
|
Working hard for seniors, bringing home results. This year, Steve Englebright sponsored several measures designed to maintain seniors’ health and welfare, as well as their quality of life, by establishing: |
|
|
|
a Senior Vision Services Program to offer comprehensive services to seniors who suffer from visual impairments (Ch. 573 of 2007). |
|
|
a Fall and Injury Prevention Program to reduce falls (A.5740), the leading cause of injury-related deaths among seniors. |
|
|
protections against financial exploitation through the development of educational programs (A.6519-A) to help seniors better recognize and respond to instances of financial abuse. |
|
|
an initiative to identify early stages of Alzheimer’s disease during admittance or discharge from the hospital (Ch. 290 of 2007). |
Middle Class STAR - property tax relief for seniors. To help reduce the tax
burden on seniors, Steve Englebright fought for a state budget that includes the
new Middle Class STAR program.
