The New York State Assembly has passed several critical bills aimed at enhancing care for older adults, spearheaded by Rebecca A. Seawright. This legislative package focuses on improving quality of life, cost reduction, and strengthening care infrastructures for nearly five million seniors. Significant measures include the reauthorization of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program to protect residents in care facilities and Assembly Bill 7907, which simplifies access to in-home services for seniors by eliminating prior physician prescription requirements. These reforms aim to ensure better health outcomes and more efficient service delivery.
“As Committee Chair, I am pleased that my colleagues and I have today secured further advancements for the health and quality of life of aging New Yorkers, as well as increased efficiencies and taxpayer cost savings.”
“Assembly Bill 7907 expands access to the Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly Program (EISEP) by removing the longstanding requirement for a physician's prescription to access non-medical services.”
