State Representative Pauline Wendzel today attended the 12^th annual Area Agency on Aging’s Legislative Forum.  Rep. Wendzel participated in a panel discussion with her colleagues and engaged local seniors and caregivers about topics such as making Michigan a no-wait state, increasing options for home and community-based long-term care, preventing elder abuse and addressing direct care workforce issues.

“Our senior citizens have given so much to our community, state, and nation, and for that, we are eternally grateful,” Wendzel said.  “I was glad to participate with my colleagues in this panel and to hear directly from senior citizens and caregivers about the issues they face every day.”

The legislative forum took place at the Area Agency on Aging’s Campus for Creative Aging.  Those who were unable to attend the forum can call Rep. Wendzel’s office at 517-373-1403, or email at [email protected] to learn more about issues facing Michigan seniors.
