 §6201. Legislative intent 1.  Findings.  The Legislature finds that:   A.

Many spouses and families, who are caring for adults with long-term care needs who are at risk of placement in an institutional setting, are in need of assistance for extended hours on a regular or respite basis;   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).]C. For many adults with long-term care needs, it may be less costly for the State to provide adult day care to supplement the care provided by the family than to provide 24-hour long-term care in institutional settings; and   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).]D.   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (RP).]E. Long-term health related care facilities and other community-based programs located throughout the State could respond to the adult day care needs of individuals and their families.   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).][PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).] 2.  Policy.  The Legislature declares that it is the policy of this State:   A.   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).]B. To enhance the systems of in-home services by utilizing the resources available through long-term care facilities and community-based programs;   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).]C. To assure that the recipients of adult day care services from long-term care facilities and other community-based programs, pursuant to this chapter, are the elderly and disabled adults who are at the greatest risk of being placed in a long-term care institutional setting;   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).]D.   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (RP).]E. To develop payment policies for long-term care facilities and community-based programs that will allow fair and equitable payments for services provided pursuant to this chapter; and   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).]F. To establish a permanent program of adult day care, to be provided through both long-term care facilities and in community-based programs.   [PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (NEW).][PL 1989, c. 347, §1 (AMD).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1983, c. 545, §1 (NEW).
