Explanation
(This amendment authorizes expansion of the Peninsula Agency on Aging Senior Outreach to Services (SOS) Pilot to include Bay Aging, Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia, and Valley Program for Aging Services. This program provides mobile, brief intervention and service linking to coordinate care for the elderly population it serves. Expansion of the pilot will increase care coordination services to elderly individuals and provide additional data to determine the feasibility of expanding the SOS option to all Area Agencies on Aging currently utilizing these funds. Language also requires the Department for the Aging to report the results of this analysis to the Governor and Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees.)
