Developmental services: personal care or assistance and in-home respite services.

Summary

AB 617 would make any organization that a regional center contracts to give personal care, personal assistance, or in‑home respite to people with developmental disabilities a licensed home‑care provider. It also forces those agencies’ employees to be listed on the state home‑care aide registry. The bill adds a statewide respite referral registry and expands the “No Wrong Door” system to seniors and people with disabilities.
