Bill Summary

Medicare would cover home safety and resilience services for seniors, such as modifications to prevent falls, improve accessibility, or help homes withstand extreme weather, if a doctor determines they are medically necessary. This would help older adults stay safely in their homes longer while potentially reducing hospital visits and emergency care costs. The coverage would apply to Medicare beneficiaries who qualify based on medical need.
