Representative Kristi Noem just finished her first year in Washington D.C. and says she wishes that politicians on Capitol Hill could compromise better, which would serve everyone better including senior citizens.

Monday, she toured an assisted living home and saw how new technology at The Good Samaritan Center can keep more senior citizens living at home and using fewer dollars from Medicare.

“That could potentially, if that person is relying on Medicare or Medicaid, to pay their bills. Also there could be a savings for the federal government as well. It would be a win, win situation for the senior who really does desire to stay at home and also for the federal government in cost savings,” said Noem.

Noem also just recently graduated from SDSU and says she has received her final transcript but is still waiting for her diploma.
