Section 86-b of Chapter 81 of the Laws of 1995 directs the Department to develop standards for use by the social services districts in providing shared aide services in the personal care services program. The standards, contained in the attached proposed ADM, were developed in consultation with an advisory group which included representatives from social services districts, providers, labor organizations and client advocacy groups. Districts must use these standards in conjunction with 92 ADM-4 until a consolidated administrative directive is released by the Department later this year.
