Aging and Disability Services

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Elderly Affairs to keep a statewide list of people who want home‑ and community‑based services, ranking them by a frailty screening score. Certified staff at aging and disability resource centers must perform initial screenings and annual rescreenings, and Medicaid recipients in three specific waiver programs must be moved into the long‑term care managed‑care program by Jan. 1, 2018. The goal is to prioritize limited resources for the most vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities.
