The Elderly Rights






The current state of the Elderly rights Act is excellent with the changed that were involved. Another change that occurred throughout the years is the reauthorization to Older Americans Act Choice for Independence in 2006. This provided a project called " Choices for Independence" which promotes long term care options for the elderly. 


The Elderly Rights began in 1965 and has been changing throughout the years. In 1965, the act was signed by president Lyndon Johnson and it provided a lot of benefits such as incomes in retirement and a hood healthcare. It also provided an Administration of Aging which protected the elderly citizens in the United States. The Act also authorizes to make community planning and service programs.

In 2000,  the Elderly Rights started to change. It added a new program called National Family Caregiver Support Program which helped the nation's needs of millions of families who care for their old loved ones. This Act also contains the same rights such as the protection needed for the older citizens's rights and dignity.

The AARP International Rights was made in 2008 when it was upheld. It provided place programs to improve the quality of the life of the elderly with the necessary protection, care, and support. They also encouraged the elderly to choose a healthy lifestyle by eating carefully, doing exercise, and by not smoking. These are habits the rights provide so the elderly citizens could have a good life.

In my personal opinion, the elderly should have the right to retake the driving exam so they can drive unless they have a medical condition. The Elderly with medical conditions should have a nurse in their homw if its necessary. They should have lower prices for their medications. I also think the elderly  should have a fun program that they could enjoy everyday in their life.
