Bill Summary
Relative to promoting elder citizen quality case management services. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the quality of case management services for the elderly by establishing limits on the number of home visits that certain employees can be assigned annually. Specifically, employees of ASAPs (Area Agencies on Aging) and SCOs (Single County Organizations) who are responsible for case management or geriatric support service coordination will not be assigned caseloads requiring more than 170-200 home visits per year, with the exact number depending on travel time. If emergencies necessitate more home visits, the Executive Office of Elder Affairs will contract with the relevant ASAP or SCO to cover these additional hours. This legislation is intended to ensure that elder affairs professionals have adequate time to provide quality care and support to seniors, and it will take effect on January 1, 2016.
