A new piece of legislation seeks to allow families of disabled adults to stay together.
Senator Charles Schumer, a democrat from New York, has authored and sponsored a bill called the Disability Integration Act. If passed, it will help individuals with disabilities live more independently by providing necessary at-home and community-based services and supports, LongIsland.com reported. The bill requires any individual who is found eligible for institutional care by a health insurance company to also be given the option to receive the same services and supports in the comfort of their own home, or in a setting of their choosing, rather than in an institutional facility away from their friends and family.
