   Comments: Having recently struggled to keep my husband at home as long as possible, I know how important it is to have the option of having Medicare pay for at home care rather than nursing home care. It would save the state money and make people more comfortable and happier.

   Comments: This action will not only provide a much needed service, but also save thousands of taxpayer dollars, since home care is less expensive than institutional care.

    Comments: As a Social Worker and Case Manager in a rehab hospital, I see every day the effects of Tennessee's thoroughly inadequate provision of services to our most frail citizens....seniors and the disabled living in terribly unsafe conditions because they don't want to go to a nursing home & have no affordable alternatives. The predictable outcome is that they eventually fall and injure themselves and, if they survive, are placed in nursing homes because they can no longer get to the bathroom or stand up from a chair. How different it is when I do discharge planning in states that provide adequate attention to their seniors ... the elderly have access to aides to help them with a bath, housekeeping assistance, transportation to appointments ..... services that help ward off the far more costly alternative of nursing home care. I've been a Social Worker for 20 years in Tennessee and have never been able to understand how "The Volunteer State" could continue with such a heartless and short sighted policy. I hope this effort by churches will bring change.

    Comments: Replace all instances of ampersand sign with the word "and" without quotation marks. The phrase about "sign away their property" is diversionary, inasmuch as that is not the issue. Absolute inadequacy of the 5 million dollars allocation is the issue, and forced destitution does not ameliorate that issue, but rather makes it far worse.
