budgetary limitations, for in-home services to the aging to include, but not
necessarily limited to: homemaker services; home-help therapy services; day-care
services; home-delivered meal services; transportation services; foster care services;
and health services.
The cabinet is authorized to collect fees for services rendered pursuant to this
section in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the secretary for health and
family services. The fee schedule shall take into consideration the ability of the
patient or client to pay for such services. Fees shall not be collected from any person
who is "needy aged" as defined by KRS 205.010.
The secretary may utilize and promote available or potential community resources
for the delivery of services to the aging and shall, when he deems appropriate,
contract for services with local, community, private agencies, and individuals,
including relatives of patients and clients, when such services would not otherwise
be available without cost.
The services to the aging authorized under this section are in addition and
supplementary to any services to which the aging may be entitled under any other
federal, state, or local governmental law, regulation, or program.
The services to the aging authorized under this section shall be designed to meet the
needs of the minority elderly as identified by the Cabinet for Health and Family
Services pursuant to KRS 205.201.
