CA Health & Safety Code § 1743 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 2 - LICENSING PROVISIONS|CHAPTER 8.3 - Private Duty Nursing Agencies|Section 1743.

1743.  (a)  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1)  There is currently a crisis in accessing home health care. (2)  Approximately 300 home health agencies have closed in the past two years. (3)  The reduction in the number of home health agencies has made it difficult for many children and adults needing skilled nursing services provided on a shift basis under home- and community-based waivers to receive the services they need, and also jeopardizes the ability of people with disabilities and others from remaining in home- and community-based settings. (4)  Home health agencies have historically been designed as a model of care for elderly Medicare beneficiaries, but this model is not well-suited for the kind of care required by adults and children with disabilities. (b)  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to ensure adequate access to home- and community-based skilled nursing services provided on a shift basis for people who need these services, including people with disabilities. (c)  It is the intent of the Legislature, in adopting a new licensure category for private duty nursing agencies, to provide appropriate nursing care while upholding the same strong consumer protections applicable to home health agencies under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. (Added by Stats. 2001, Ch. 242, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2002.)
