NY Pub Health L § 2005 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 20-A - Alzheimer's Community Assistance Program 2005 - Legislative Intent.

§  2005. Legislative intent. 1. The legislature finds that Alzheimer's   disease and related dementing  illnesses  which  destroy  certain  vital   cells in the brain, currently affect more than four hundred thousand New   Yorkers. Although these diseases are not limited to the elderly, medical   researchers have projected that Alzheimer's disease and related diseases   of  the  brain  will  show a significant increase in numbers to coincide   with the growth in  the  population  of  the  elderly.  Because  of  the   inability  of  persons with Alzheimer's and related dementias to live in   safety or undertake even the simplest  tasks  of  daily  living  without   cueing,  assistance  and/or supervision, this population requires a high   level of care  throughout  the  moderate  and  advanced  stages  of  the   disease.   The  reconfiguration  of  the  health  care  delivery  system   currently underway necessitates  special  recognition  of  this  patient   population  which  often,  while sometimes otherwise physically healthy,   demands this high level of care because of  their  cognitive  impairment   and other dementia symptoms.2. In response to the needs of New York state's Alzheimer's community,   and  stemming  from  within  this  community,  a  statewide  network  of   not-for-profit   corporations   have   been    established,    dedicated   specifically  to  responding  at  the  local  level to the needs of this   community. This  network  provides  important  support  and  educational   services  to  caregivers  of  persons  with  Alzheimer's disease. Eighty   percent of all Alzheimer's care  is  provided  at  home  and/or  in  the   community,  and  is delivered by family caregivers. By supporting family   caregivers and informal supports at home and in  the  community,  costly   institutionalization can be significantly delayed or avoided altogether.   This  results  in  a more effective utilization of resources.  It is the   intent of  the  legislature  to  encourage  and  foster  such  home  and   community-based    assistance   through   this   existing   network   of   not-for-profit corporations. It is further important  in  this  time  of   changing resources and resource allocation, to encourage this network to   work  closely  with  the  department  to  ensure  that  the  Alzheimer's   community is appropriately educated and included  with  respect  to  all   available health care options.
