Add Parent Age Criteria for Priority 1
 

Waiting List Criteria - 12VAC30-122-90

I am a 67 year old mom of a 36 year old woman on the Waiver Wait List. Before the redesign, she was deemed "urgent" because I was over 55. While I agree that 55 is low, when the redesign blanketly removed this criteria for Priority 1, I was aghast. Caring for my daughter is getting harder and harder each year. I live in fear that I may die not knowing my daughter’s fate, or that she will face a frightening change or questionable care at a time of grief or trauma.

Please reinstate a parent age criteria for Priority 1. I suggest 65 years old
