The Commissioner of Human Services shall establish a personal attendant demonstration program in the Department of Human Services to be administered by agencies designated by the commissioner. The program shall provide adults with chronic physical disabilities with regular help in carrying out routine nonmedical tasks that are directly related to maintaining their health and independence. The program will lessen the need for institutional care and thereby enable these persons to remain in their homes and communities and to be employed or to receive training or education geared toward employment.
