Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the veterans' services law, in relation to availability of information on home care services
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Department of Veterans' Services to collaborate with federal, state, and local agencies, including the Department of Health and the Office for the Aging, as well as home care experts, to create and share educational materials for veterans and their families about home and community-based services (HCBS). These services are designed to help individuals receive care in their own homes or communities rather than in institutions, and the bill specifically mentions the federal Veteran-Directed Home and Community Based Services program (VD-HCBS) as an example. The educational resources, which can include websites, web links, and printed materials, will be reviewed and updated annually, and local veterans' service agencies will also be empowered to make this information available to veterans.
