title: Home care and the ADA: do limitations on coverage violate the law?
abstract: To avoid liability, home care agencies must have a firm grasp of the basic requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("Section 504"). Agency leaders must understand the legal issues that arise whenever care is limited or denied to persons with disabilities.
