Yesterday, I attended the Twin Cities Regional White House Conference on <br />Aging, This was a well attended public hearing where people from various <br />organizations testified on aging issues and policy recommendations to <br />identify the needs of older Americans in the 21 st Century. This was a wide <br />ranging conference covering many issues, from support for the disabled, the <br />visually and hearing impaired, to Elder rights, Employment, Long Term Care <br />in the Home and Community and Health Care Reform. It provided useful <br />insight to the needs of the older segment of the population, which will <br />become more and more significant as the age distribution of America <br />changes. I took notes, but there is too much to be included here. I came away <br />with a better understanding of the communities' needs, as well as of the <br />many different support groups that exist. <br />
