Bill Summary
For legislation relative to Massachusetts home care eligibility. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill expands home care services in Massachusetts by amending existing regulations to allow individuals diagnosed with HIV or AIDS to receive home care program services regardless of their age, provided they meet other standard eligibility requirements. Currently, home care services might have age restrictions that would prevent some HIV or AIDS patients from accessing these support services. The bill directs the Executive Office of Aging and Independence to modify the home care regulations (specifically 651 CMR 3.00) to implement this change, with the secretary of health and human services responsible for ensuring that relevant agencies develop the necessary implementing regulations. By removing age as a barrier for HIV and AIDS patients seeking home care services, the bill aims to provide more comprehensive support for this vulnerable population.
