Bill Summary
Relative to the eligibility of certain persons for the personal care attendant program. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the eligibility requirements for the Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program in Massachusetts. It requires the state's division responsible for the PCA program to develop or modify the program's standards and regulations to include individuals who are otherwise eligible for the program, but require supervision and cueing (prompting) to perform two or more activities of daily living. This change would expand access to the PCA program to individuals who need assistance beyond just physical hands-on care.
