Overview
The Senior Services Act establishes a state's framework for programs and services serving older residents, placing them under a designated agency that acts as the state's channel for administering federal aging programs and is headed by an appointed commissioner with defined qualifications, term of office, compensation, and powers. It creates a council on aging that includes citizen representatives, and it provides for rulemaking, recordkeeping over existing programs and contracts, and periodic reporting. The act also authorizes community-based care and in-home services, including an in-home care registry, and addresses the prevention of crimes against the elderly.
