After careful study, the LWVNE voted to add a position statement on elder care to its state program during its May 30 annual meeting. This means that the state League can take a position on elder care issues at the Nebraska Unicameral. 

• The Position Statement on Elder Care in Nebraska includes:
  LWVNE supports safe, accessible, affordable and timely services, policies and resources at the local, county and state levels of government to improve the quality of life for all older Nebraskans.
• Older Nebraskans should have the dignity of choice to live in a safe environment.
• Older Nebraskans should have access to necessary medical, dental, podiatric, vision, hearing, mental health, social welfare and treatment programs throughout their lives.
• The state of Nebraska and its municipalities—as well as the private sector—should recognize, support and incentivize those who provide caregiver services to older adults.
• Government, health care, nonprofit and educational resources—both in-person and virtual—should be available and accessible throughout Nebraska where older adults reside or gather.
• The financial security of older Nebraskans is critical for their quality of life.
