1997 Home and Community Based Services |
|
For a family caring for an Alzheimer�s patient, community based services -- providing in-home care, transportation, and home delivered meals -- are critical needs allowing a patient to remain at home as long as possible. The Association strongly endorses appropriations to provide in-home support and protective services facilitating long term care. The request reflects situations assessed by Area Agencies on Aging and annualized by the Virginia Department for the Aging. The "critical unmet need" figures reflect the amount necessary to serve people at risk of being unable to remain in their own homes due to a lack of services. The requests reflect the needs of 10,115 elderly individuals with critical needs.
