Before submitting the <br /> resolution to the County Commissioners for action, a <br /> Domiciliary Homes Quality Care Forum was held November 11th <br /> inviting comments on the proposed resolution from community <br /> groups such as local domiciliary home operators, Social <br /> Services licensing staff, Regional Ombudsman for Long Term <br /> Care and other citizen groups . The Forum was sponsored by <br /> the Orange County Domiciliary Community Advisory Committee <br /> the Orange County Department on Aging and the Department of <br /> Social Services . Input from the Forum resulted in the <br /> Advisory Board on Aging and the Social Services Board <br /> adopting a revised resolution which clarified issues and <br /> stressed maintaining the diversity of homes sizes as new <br /> regulations are developed. (Changes from the original <br /> resolution are underlined. ) <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : Manager recommends the adoption of the revised Orange <br /> County Resolution and submit it to Triangle J Council <br /> of Governments and appropriate state agencies . <br />
