Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to the naturally occurring retirement community supportive service program
Purpose or general idea of bill
To remove head of household requirement from the definition of "Elderly Person"
Summary of specific provisions
Paragraph (b) of subdivision I of section 209 of the elder law is amended as follows: (b) "Elderly" or "elderly persons" shall mean persons who are sixty years of age or older AND WHO ARE HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDS .ct.
Justification
Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORC's) provide non-medical support and opportunities for socialization for older New Yorkers that reside within its service area. Local community matching funds shall allow for dues, fees for service, individual and community contributions in order to remain viable. This bill removes the head of house hold requirement that may prevent an adult over the age of 60 from participating in NORC supportive services. Allowing more people to participate in these important socialization programs will prevent social isolation and delay institutionalization of elderly people.
