Resolve, To Amend the Rules Concerning Long-term Care Services To Better Support Family Caregivers

Sec. 1. Resolved: That, within the limits of its existing resources, the Department of Health and Human Services shall engage parties interested in the well-being of elderly and disabled adults for the purpose of creating a standard-form written contract that would satisfy existing MaineCare rules requiring a written contract for long-term care personal support services delivered by a relative in a home setting. The use of this contract form may not preclude the use of other forms. The Department of Health and Human Services shall post the contract form on its publicly accessible website, and shall adopt rules to implement the standard-form written contract. Rules adopted pursuant to this resolve are routine technical rules as defined in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.
