Ohio HB917 allows hospice care services for terminally ill homeless individuals in designated facilities.
Ohio HB917 amends the Revised Code to define "terminal care facility for the homeless" as a facility providing accommodations to homeless individuals with terminal illnesses. The bill allows hospice care program services for these individuals if they meet specific criteria, including having a terminal condition with a life expectancy of six months or less, having no capable relatives or financial means for alternative care, and being under a physician's direct care. The facility must not receive remuneration from residents or government programs and must meet health and safety standards.
