On Monday, February 8, Senator Spilka presented awards to members of the Elder Community Care Collaborative Program at the Massachusetts Coalition for Suicide Prevention Event at the State House.
Senator Spilka’s office joined Governor Deval Patrick, Secretary of Elder Affairs Ann L. Hartstein, and Undersecretary of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation Barbara Anthony today at the launch of Massachusetts’ “Embrace Your Future” long-term care awareness campaign at the Morse Institute Library in Natick.
“As a strong advocate for seniors and persons with disabilities, I applaud Governor Patrick and Secretary Hartstein for pulling together this comprehensive guide of long-term care options,” stated Senator Spilka. “It will be of immense benefit to seniors who are anticipating long-term care needs and persons with disabilities in the MetroWest and throughout the state. This forward-thinking approach will help residents budget for secure, healthy and productive futures.”
