Establishes a task force to study aging in place in mental health housing
This bill creates a 9-member task force within New York's Office of Mental Health to study how elderly residents in community mental health housing can "age in place" while receiving proper care. The task force will examine specific barriers, including integrating mental and medical care, making housing ADA-compliant, training staff on elderly needs, and improving transportation for medical appointments. It must issue a report with recommendations to the governor and legislature within 12 months, after which the task force automatically expires. The bill directly affects elderly residents in state-funded mental health housing programs and aims to improve their care coordination and living conditions.
