AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the availability of affordable senior housing and on-site services in the Commonwealth. The bill directs the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to develop a demonstration program that will establish site-based staffing teams of enhanced service coordinators and wellness nurses at affordable senior housing properties, modeled on the Supports and Services at Home (SASH) program. The demonstration will seek to facilitate coordination between the on-site teams and care management of managed and integrated care plans, such as Senior Care Options (SCOs), PACE, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and Medicare Advantage plans, to integrate services and fund the on-site support team. The bill also seeks to better coordinate and streamline case management and home care services authorized and provided by Aging Service Access Points (ASAPs) in participating senior housing sites. EOHHS will report on the implementation of the demonstration program within 365 days.
