Government Advocacy
Advocating for seniors, strengthening communities
Through our government advocacy efforts, we work to ensure that all people, regardless of income or circumstance, can grow and age with dignity, safety, and wellness.
Advocacy in Action
At Immanuel, we seek to protect and advance the rights of older adults. We actively work alongside national and state partners to monitor legislation, champion policies that support aging with dignity, and ensure the voices of older adults are heard where decisions are made.
Through strategic collaboration and timely action alerts, we help communities and stakeholders make a difference across:
- Nebraska
- Iowa
- U.S. Congress
Together, we’re shaping a future where every older adult can thrive.
Our advocacy priorities
Immanuel advocates for policies and programs that directly impact the well-being of residents and PACE® participants, employees, and the broader senior community.
We share regular updates with clear, objective information on key public policy issues. Our commitment is nonpartisan, with a focus on what matters most: people.
Our advocacy priorities include:
- Fixing Medicaid and Medicare
- Expanding affordable housing
- Investing in a strong workforce
Addressing Medicaid & Medicare
Medicaid and Medicare shouldn’t be complicated, uncertain, or stressful. These programs are essential, and we believe they must provide stable, reliable coverage for every older adult without the fear of financial insecurity.
That’s why we work directly with state Medicaid leaders and regularly meet with U.S. congressional representatives to advocate for improvements to both Medicaid and Medicare.
Expanding affordable housing options
Safe, high-quality, and affordable housing is essential for seniors to live with dignity and independence. We support initiatives that increase access to housing options tailored to older adults.
Immanuel has three affordable housing communities:
- Immanuel Courtyard in Omaha, Nebraska
- Trinity Courtyard in Papillion, Nebraska
- Graceview Courtyard in Council Bluffs, Iowa
Investing in a strong workforce
Our employees are the heart of Immanuel. We advocate for policies that support workforce development, fair compensation, and training opportunities to ensure our communities remain among the best places to work.
