An Act relative to Massachusetts home care eligibility

This bill requires the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs to include people diagnosed with HIV or AIDS in its home care eligibility rules, regardless of their age. The law mandates that these individuals receive home care services if they meet the standard criteria for such programs, ensuring they are not excluded due to their health status. Additionally, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with updating relevant regulations to put this change into effect. The legislation directly impacts the state's home care system and expands access to support services for a specific population.
