Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen the regulation and oversight of home care services in Massachusetts. It establishes a licensing system for home care agencies, defining key terms like ‘home care agency,’ ‘home care consumer,’ and ‘home care worker.’ The legislation also addresses issues of worker safety and abuse prevention, creating a stakeholder advisory committee to develop standards and procedures for protecting both home care workers and consumers. Finally, it establishes a home care oversight advisory council to assist the secretary in implementing the new regulations.
