Section 100145
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that for older persons and persons with disabilities all of the following apply:

(a)  Long-term care consumers experience great differences in service levels, eligibility criteria and service availability that often results in inappropriate and expensive care that is not responsive to individual needs.

(b)  Individuals requiring long-term care services are most often the best judges of their own needs. Consequently, they should share the responsibility for designing the overall long-term care delivery system.

(c)  The laws governing long-term care facilities have established an uncoordinated array of long-term care services that are funded and administered by a state structure that lacks necessary integration and focus.

(d)  Article 4.05 (commencing with Section 14139.05) of Chapter 7 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code sets forth the state’s public policy strategy to address this problem through an approach that provides the opportunity for a community to design and implement a coordinated services delivery system with the involvement of long-term care consumers in the decisionmaking process.

(e)  The Long-Term Care Integration Pilot Projects were developed to test models for service integration, with the goal of providing a continuum of social and health services that foster independence and self-reliance, maintain individual dignity, and allow consumers of long-term care services to remain an integral part of their family and community life.

(f)  The adoption of the Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act (Division 8.5 (commencing with Section 9000) of the Welfare and Institutions Code) sought to improve the integration of available services at the local level and enhance the development of systems of home and community-based services.

(g)  Obstacles currently preventing the integration of long-term care programs and oversight at the state level include all of the following: inflexible and inconsistent funding sources, economic incentives that encourage the placement of consumers in the highest levels of care, lack of coordination between aging, health, and social service departments at the state level, and inflexible state and federal regulations.

(h)  It is both necessary and urgent to restructure long-term care programs and oversight at the state level so that duplicative and confusing eligibility criteria, assessments, intake forms, and service limitations will not continue to inhibit consumer satisfaction, impede improvements in consumer health status, and perpetuate the ineffective use of state resources.
