Home care agencies are prohibited from discharging clients from care simply because they are unable to pay for the needed service.Rather,the agency must continue to give care until care is no longer needed or referral can be made to another agency that will care for the client.Although the public health department may be able to provide free or reduced care to some clients,a consultation would not ensure that the client would receive these services
