Section § 9805

Explanation

This law requires California's master plan for aging to explore the use of a universal tool and process. The goal is to simplify access to services for aging individuals by using a coordinated assessment process.

To achieve this, they must gather input from various stakeholders, including consumers and service providers. This tool should help assess individual needs and determine eligibility for long-term care and services efficiently.

(a)CA Welfare and Institutions Code § 9805(a) The master plan for aging established pursuant to Executive Order N-14-19 shall consider the efficacy of utilizing a universal tool and process to streamline access to services through a coordinated assessment process. In considering the tool and process, the Master Plan for Aging Stakeholder Advisory Committee shall seek input from stakeholders, including, but not limited to, consumers, providers, and advocates.
(b)CA Welfare and Institutions Code § 9805(b) The assessment tool and process should be capable of assessing individual need and determining initial eligibility for programs and services available in the long-term services and supports delivery network.
