Oral Health Assessment by Lay Personnel for Older Adults
Published on: February 2, 2020
Abstract:
The Administration on Aging (AoA) in the Office of Human Development Services is issuing new and revised regulations to implement Title III of the Older Americans Act, as amended. Title III authorizes formula grants to State agencies on aging to assist States and local communities to develop comprehensive and coordinated systems for the delivery of services to older persons. Title III provides separate allotments for social services (including long-term care ombudsman program and multipurpose senior centers), congregate nutrition services and home-delivered nutrition services. These regulations set forth the requirements a State agency on aging must meet to receive a grant from the Administration on Aging. The regulations include requirements and procedures for designation of State and area agencies, submission and approval of State and area plans, services requirements and hearing procedures.
