The HCAOA Connecticut Chapter submitted written testimony to the Connecticut Legislature’s Homemaker Companion Task Force last week on behalf of Connecticut Chapter members.
The testimony said, “HCAOA Connecticut is committed to education of members to help ensure increased compliance with HCA laws and regulations. The Chapter meets regularly with lawmakers and officials… to inform members, learn more about new requirements and collaborate with officials to improve the regulatory environment… However, those efforts become more challenging when laws are enacted without sufficient input and support from the industry and home care providers.” |
