Bill > S00118

This bill amends the elder law to expand the NY Connects: Choices for Long Term Care program, which provides information and assistance on long-term care services to consumers, caregivers, and families. Specifically, the bill mandates that NY Connects will now include information about programs and services for individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, and will also conduct an ongoing education and outreach campaign to inform the public about these specific services available in their communities. The NY Connects program itself is a state initiative designed to help people make informed decisions about their long-term care needs, whether that care is provided at home, in the community, or in an institution. This act will take effect one year after it becomes law.
