Catch Title:
Community
based in-home services.

Subject:
Community
based in-home services program.

Summary/Major Elements:

The state department of
health currently administers a community based program that provides to clients
certain in-home services such as homemaking services, respite care and adult
day care. While the current statute appears to require that these services only
be provided to "senior citizens," the department has in the past also
provided these same services to disabled adults.

This bill clarifies that the
program will offer these services both to Wyoming senior citizens and to
disabled adults 18 years of age and older.

The bill further modifies a
number of terms describing the services to be provided.
