An Act relative to cueing and supervision in the PCA program
This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow individuals who need supervision and cueing to perform daily tasks to participate in the Personal Care Attendant program. It specifically targets people who are currently eligible for the program but require assistance with two or more activities of daily living due to their need for guidance. The legislation directs the relevant state division to update its standards and regulations to formally include these individuals as eligible members. By making this change, the bill aims to expand access to support services for a specific group of residents who previously might have been excluded from the program.
