Relative to increasing awareness of community based PACE programs for older adults. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase awareness of community-based PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) programs for older adults. Specifically, it requires the Department of Elder Affairs to provide information about PACE programs as part of its outreach and information services for the elderly. It also mandates that pre-admission counseling for long-term care services, including for those seeking private pay options, must include an assessment of PACE and other community-based service options. The bill also directs the Executive Office of Elder Affairs to study the feasibility of using certain Medicaid providers to conduct this pre-admission counseling, and requires the state to report annually on the number of individuals receiving this counseling and the number of diversions to community-based care.
