Wee Tl RE-TE Senate adopts reforms for nursing home childrei The Associated Press AUSTIN — Reforms meant to improve con ditions for disabled children in nursing homes, including the creation of their own bill of rights, have been adopted by a state Senate committee. Following a series of newspaper articles outlining deficiencies in nursing home care for children, the Senate Health and Human Ser vices Committee unanimously approved re forms such as the appointment of a single case manager for each child in a nursing home. The state also will establish a toll-free phone line for complaints and information about services to disabled children and create a bill of rights for children in nursing homes. Other changes include setting up an emer gency fund for community services, develop ing training programs for nursing-home work ers who care for children and monitoring each school district with children in nursing homes. The reforms were passed Monday, the same day that an advocacy group sued the state for allegedly failing to properly serve the children. The Senate committee hearing was prompt ed by a five-day series last month in the Austin American-Statesman. "The Lost Chil dren" articles cited severe gaps in services the approximately 300 children in Texas ing homes. Several problem areas identified in tl ries were highlighted in three class-actiont suits filed on Monday by Advocacy lnc.,ai; erally funded disability rights group base; Austin. The lawsuits, which allege violationsof| Americans with Disabilities Act and other eral laws, were filed in federal court the Texas Education Agency and the Texas partment of Protective and Regulatory vices.
