Each state will receive subsidies for more programs for
people with physical and mental challenges.
The primary purpose of this funding is to offer more programs for
community-based services. The main function
of these organizations is to assist people with mental and physical challenges
to be more independent.
"We want that these programs to serve as a
high-performance model of “single window” models cross-country,” said Marilyn
Tavenner, acting administrator of the Center for Medicaid and Medicare
services.
Representatives of the United States Department of Health
and Human services recently stated that $25 million will start to flood the states
to assist the financing of centers for senior citizens. Representatives
of the Department also noted that this funding will be used for people with
physical/mental challenges to survive on their own in a community based environment.
As part of the pilot program, eight states will receive
starting funding. The primary reason for
this is to format a national model for personal care assistance. Approximately 40 states will gather funding
over the next three years.
