NH Disabled Help

From the Union Leader:
"More money for elderly and disabled in NH"

New Hampshire will get $26.5 million over three years to support elderly and disabled individuals in the community instead of in institutions, federal officials said Friday. It is the first grant to a state under the Balancing Incentive Program, which will provide a total of $3 billion to states under the Affordable Care Act. “We are absolutely committed to consumer-directed care,” Nancy Rollins, associate commissioner for N.H. Department of Health and Human Services, said in a conference call. She said the program offers the possibility that “all consumers and their caregivers will have the supports they need in order to live in their community.” The funds can be used for services such as personal care, respite care, transportation, enhanced family care, care coordination, and general services and support needed to assist people in their own homes, if possible, or in the community outside an institutional setting.

^ It is always good to give more aid to the disabled (regardless of what state they are in.) I'm glad that New Hampshire is receiving the money and only hope that they use it fairly. ^
