THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1995 USA TODAY SILVER SPRING-About 100 American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today protesters, many in wheelchairs, blocked Route 29 for several hours. They want 25% of Medicare dollars to go to home care. MAY 18, 1995 METROPOLITAN TIMES SILVER SPRING [Headline] Wheelchair protest blocks Route 29 Thirty wheelchair-bound protesters were arrested for blocking traffic on a major Montgomery County thorough-fare in a four-hour demonstration. Members of a grass-roots organization of disabled people said they want to force Manor Care, one of the nation's largest nursing home operators, out of business. The group blocked traffic in both directions on Route 29 and Lockwood Drive between White Oak and Four Corners. On Tuesday, members of the group, Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, demonstrated outside the home of House Speaker Newt Gingrich because they say he reneged on a promise to introduce legislation that would help dis-abled Americans live more in-dependently. THE WASHINGTON POST MAY 18,1995 [Headline] Disabled Protesters Are Arrested After Blockading Building Nearly 100 protesters in wheelchairs were arrested yesterday after blockading the Silver Spring headquarters of Man-or Care Inc., the nation's fourth-largest owner and open-tor of nursing homes, police said. As many as 250 protesters gathered about 11 a.m. outside the Manor Care offices on Coles-vile Road and demanded a meet-ing with company Chairman Stewart Bainum Jr. Leaders of the group asked Bainum to sign a letter urging Congress to divert 25 percent of current Medicaid funding of nursing home care to home health care, a Manor Care spokeswoman said. When the company officials refused to sign the letter, the protesters—members of the group Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today—blocked off all entrances to the building for about four hours, refusing to allow anyone to enter or leave. Diane Cook, a Manor Care spokeswoman, said the company agrees with "many of their points." But she characterized the protest as a "publicity issue" that did not interrupt the company's operation. After blocking off parts of New Hampshire Avenue and Colesville Road for several hours to protect the demonstrators, Montgomery County police be-gan making arrests shortly before 4 p.m.

STATEMENT BY HIS SECRETARY DONNA E. SHALALA SUPPORTING THE PRINCIPLES OF HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE AND CONSUMER CHOICE AND SELF-DETERMINATION I want to take this opportunity to reaffirm our support for the principles of emphasizing home and community based services and offering consumers the maximum amount of choice, control, and flexibility in how those services are organized and delivered. Specifically, we support the principles of: • promoting greater control for consumers to select, manage, and direct their own personal attendant services; • expanding community-based, non-institutional supports; • promoting the use of functional assessments to determine eligibility for home and community based services; • offering opportunities for states to: (a) provide services in both in-home and out-of-home locations; (b) provide services at any time during the day or night; and (c) offer back-up and emergency services; • experimenting with alternative ways to finance services (such as vouchers and direct cash payments) in addition to the traditional agency-based model; • encouraging the use of alternative providers, including informal providers such as friends and relatives; • developing new ways to help consumers train and manage their attendants; • demonstrating a commitment to the quality of life of the people who provide attendant care; and • encouraging the use of agreed-upon individualized plans for attendant care. The Administration has been steadfast in its support for community care for people of all ages who have disabilities. We know that most people prefer home and community supports and we are pleased that many states are moving aggressively to use their own funds and federal support to improve the quality of life of people who use these supports and those who provide them. We also recognize that the vast majority of home and community care today is provided by family members and friends. They are there because they choose to be there to support their loved ones. But they need some support and reinforcement. One of the key ways government can help families is to offer some relief, in the form of home and community based services.
