Healthsperien released its comprehensive summary of the Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) 2024 Final Rule to Update Older Americans Act (OAA) Regulations. The new regulations will take effect on March 15, 2024, but regulated entities have until October 1, 2025, to comply. The OAA authorizes programs and services that help older adults age in place, ombudsman services that support older adults who live in long-term care facilities, and additional services for caregivers and older adults. The release of the final rule reflects input received through a request for information, a series of listening sessions, and more than 750 comments received in response to the June 2023 Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) from a range of stakeholders.
