New York S07077 expands non-medical in-home services, non-institutional respite services, case management, and ancillary services without.

New York S07077 amends the elder law to allow counties with approved home care plans for functionally impaired elderly to provide expanded non-medical in-home services, non-institutional respite services, case management services, and ancillary services. These services must support elderly persons' continued residence in their homes and be limited to meeting otherwise unmet needs. The bill also removes certain cost-sharing requirements for these services. Agencies providing these services do not need a prescription or physician's order. The act takes effect 90 days after becoming law.
