S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7588 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y May 19, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. CYMBROWITZ -- read once and referred to the Committee on Aging AN ACT to amend the elder law, in relation to providing enriched social adult day services THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 215-b of the elder law, as added by section 27 of part A of chapter 58 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows: S 215-b. Enriched social adult day services [demonstration project]. 1. Legislative intent. Social adult day services programs are resources that can help communities maintain the independence of [elderly resi- dents] FUNCTIONALLY IMPAIRED ADULTS. The level of services needed by some [elderly persons] FUNCTIONALLY IMPAIRED ADULTS exceeds the level of assistance currently available through social model adult day services programs but is not at the level of support provided in an adult day health care program. Social adult day services programs cannot enroll new participants whose needs exceed the services that can be provided in the current social adult day services programs. Additionally, these programs must discharge current participants when their needs cannot be met. Therefore, an enriched social adult day services project shall be established as a demonstration project for the purposes of maintaining [elderly persons] FUNCTIONALLY IMPAIRED ADULTS in the community by deterring or delaying institutionalization. 2. Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) ["Elderly" or "elderly persons" shall mean persons who are sixty years of age or older. (b)] "Eligible participant" shall mean [elderly or elderly persons as defined in this section,] INDIVIDUALS who are functionally impaired, as defined in section two hundred fifteen of this title, and in need of services that exceed the level of assistance currently available through EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
