New Hope for Supporters of Community Care for People with Disabilities

By Peter Iglinski

Rochester, NY – A new poll gives hope to those wanting to make it easier for people with disabilities to choose home-care over nursing homes. A poll by Harris Interactive found support for the Community Choice Act to be 66 percent. When people learned about the costs associated with the bill, support jumped to 89 percent.

WXXI's Peter Iglinski spoke with Bruce Darling, President and CEO of the Center for Disability Rights, based in Rochester. He asked Darling if he was surprised by the results of the poll.
