Adelantar la política pública de envejecimiento activo de la Ley 121-2019 requiere propuestas legislativas integrales. Las medidas a continuación propulsadas por AARP buscan fortalecer la protección, el bienestar y la inclusión de las personas mayores. Entre las medidas propuestas se encuentra la creación de una ley para capacitar profesionales de la salud en geriatría y gerontología, así como enmiendas a la Carta de Derechos de los Adultos Mayores para garantizar mayor seguridad jurídica. Además, se impulsa la actualización de políticas sobre cuidado informal y seguridad financiera en el retiro, junto con programas de formación para cuidadores y jóvenes trabajadores. Estas propuestas también promueven igualdad en el desarrollo empresarial, mejoran la accesibilidad en servicios públicos y fomentan el aprendizaje a través de toda la vida. En conjunto, estas acciones reflejan un compromiso por construir un Puerto Rico más justo, inclusivo y preparado, en donde todos podamos alcanzar nuestros anhelos, no importa la edad.
While older driver safety is important year-round, Older Driver Safety Awareness Week is a good time to remind older drivers of the importance of safe driving habits. Typically, the first week of December, many major transportation organizations collaborate to encourage older adults, their family members, and caregivers to be proactive about discussing safe mobility and building a transportation plan.
More information and resources about this campaign will be added to the website soon, so check back for updates.
