Legislative statement of need
Official statutory text
The Oklahoma State Legislature hereby finds and declares that
there is an inadequate range of community-based services for frail
elderly and disabled adults and that there is an urgent need to
establish, support and regulate a community-based system of quality
adult day care programs to:
1. Provide a protective social environment which may include
health remedial, restorative and social services designed to
maintain maximum independence and to prevent premature or
inappropriate institutionalization of functionally impaired elderly
or disabled adults;
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 63. Public Health and Safety Page 533
2. Provide periods of relief for family caregivers, sometimes
called respite care, to enable them to continue caring for an
impaired person at home; and
3. Enable family caregivers to continue gainful employment.
