AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Social Services to conduct a comprehensive study examining the potential costs and benefits of expanding state-funded assisted living services. Specifically, the study will focus on elderly individuals who currently qualify for the Connecticut home-care program but do not meet Medicaid eligibility requirements. The goal is to explore additional housing and support service options for seniors, potentially creating more flexible care alternatives beyond traditional home care or full Medicaid-supported services. By analyzing the financial implications and potential benefits of such an expansion, the bill aims to provide policymakers with critical information about how to better support elderly residents who may have limited care options under the current system. The study represents a proactive approach to understanding and potentially improving supportive services for aging Connecticut residents who fall into a current gap in state-funded care programs.
