AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 19 of the General Laws to provide the option of residential and day services to individuals with mental illness who are living in the community with a family member or primary caretaker, when the family member or caretaker has extenuating medical or other circumstances that create unreasonable stress or an unsafe or detrimental environment for either the caregiver or the person with mental illness. The bill ensures that this additional service option does not eliminate or reduce services to any other segment of the population served by the Department.
