                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      May 15, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. LUPARDO -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Aging
 
        AN ACT to amend the elder law, in relation  to  establishing  guidelines
          for the development of community-based programs
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Article 2 of the elder law is amended by adding a new title
     2  5 to read as follows:
     3                                   TITLE 5
     4                          AGE FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES
     5    Section 301. Guidelines for development of community-based programs.
     6    § 301. Guidelines for  development  of  community-based  programs.  In
     7  order  to  encourage  the  development  of  activities and programs that
     8  support older adults within communities, the office shall develop  mate-
     9  rials  and  guidelines  for the development of community-based programs.
    10  Such guidelines and materials shall be designed  to  assist  local  area
    11  agencies  on  aging,  non-profit entities, and community-based organiza-
    12  tions that wish to establish programs for seniors in their local  commu-
    13  nities.  In  choosing what types of programs for which to develop guide-
    14  lines and materials, the office shall focus on programs that  have  been
    15  successful  in  supporting  older adults in the community and those that
    16  provide innovative approaches to existing challenges. Areas of  concern,
    17  for which encouraging the spread of locally-based programs would be most
    18  beneficial,  shall  include,  but  not be limited to: (a) supporting the
    19  ability of older adults to stay in their homes,  both  through  services
    20  and  assistance  with  chores  and  maintenance;  (b) general safety and
    21  prevention of abuse and exploitation; (c) socialization, both with peers
    22  and with individuals of all ages; (d) opportunities for  involvement  in
    23  the  local  community, including volunteerism; and (e) encouraging older
    24  adults who wish to continue their career or embark on a new career path.
    25    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
