Task Force on the Co-location of Different Populations in Adult Care Homes

The North Carolina General Assembly directed the NCIOM to study “short-term and long-term strategies to address issues within adult care homes that provide residence to persons who are frail and elderly and to persons suffering from mental illness” (Section 10.78ff(3) of Session Law 2009-451).

The Task Force on the Co-Location of Different Populations in Adult Care Homes will also examine co-location of other people with behavioral health disorders, such as substance abuse or intellectual or other developmental disabilities, with frail elderly or other people with disabilities. The General Assembly asked us to provide an interim report to the 2010 Session of the North Carolina General Assembly and a final report to the 2011 Session.

This is a 1-year task force. NCALA’s Executive Director, Peggy Smith, is participating on the task force. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you want to know more, please contact Peggy at peggy@ncala.org or (919) 467-2486.
