Bill > S4374

This bill, the Social Engagement and Network Initiatives for Older Relief Act (SENIOR Act), proposes to amend the Older Americans Act of 1965 to include screening for loneliness and coordination of supportive services and healthcare to address the negative health effects of loneliness among older individuals. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to prepare a report on programs that focus on addressing the negative health effects of loneliness, examine the relationship between the strength of multigenerational family units and loneliness, and provide recommendations for reducing the negative health effects of loneliness and fostering strong intergenerational connections.
