Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes > Title 22 > Subtitle 4 > Part 2 > Chapter 1505 - Adult Day Care

• Adult day care: means an ongoing program of health, social, maintenance and rehabilitative services available to persons needing this level of service, as determined by an assessment of their functional abilities and need for health and social services. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 22 Sec. 6202
• Adults with long-term care needs: means adults who have physical or mental limitations which restrict their ability to carry out activities of daily living and impede their ability to live independently, or who are at risk of being placed, or who already have been placed in an institutional setting. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 22 Sec. 6202
• Agreement: means a contract, grant or other method of payment. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 22 Sec. 6202
• Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
• Community-based program: means a program of adult day care offered outside of a long-term health care facility and which meets the licensing and program standards of the Department of Health and Human Services. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 22 Sec. 6202
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
