Preamble
WHEREAS, Thousands of Maryland seniors and individuals with disabilities
live independently in their own homes, which they prefer and which is less costly
than institutional care such as nursing homes; and
WHEREAS, Many Maryland seniors and individuals with disabilities currently
receive personal home care services from individual providers hired directly by the
individuals under State and federally funded programs; and
WHEREAS, Quality personal home care services allow Maryland seniors,
individuals with disabilities, and the individuals' families the choice of allowing
seniors and individuals with disabilities to remain in their homes, rather than forcing
them into institutional care; and
WHEREAS, Home- and community-based options are less costly than nursing
homes and other institutional care, and therefore save Maryland taxpayers
significant amounts of money; and
WHEREAS, There is a growing shortage of qualified individuals to provide
personal home care services to seniors and individuals with disabilities in the State;
and
WHEREAS, Consumers are well served by programs that support
self-direction, individual autonomy, dignity, and choice; now, therefore,
