Fund the Seniors Longevity Bonus Program
I support funding our Seniors Longevity Bonus Program so the program can phase out on schedule, in agreement with public discussion years ago. The program was declining and it was a shame to see our esteemed pioneers face broken promises when they were
prematurely lopped off the program. I also support home and community based assistance programs, which are more cost effective than institutional alternatives and also allow seniors to stay in their homes and communities with dignity.

Home-based assistance more cost-effective than institutions
I support funding our Seniors Longevity Bonus Program so the program can phase out on schedule, in agreement with public discussion years ago.
The program was declining and it was a shame to see our esteemed pioneers face broken promises when they were prematurely lopped off the program.
I also support home and community based assistance programs, which are more cost effective than institutional alternatives and also allow seniors to stay in their homes and communities with dignity.
Senior citizens will be respected in my administration and will receive our full respect and support. They are my delight and I will not let them down.
