A federal judge is set to weigh in on whether New Hampshire’s at-home care program for the elderly and people with physical disabilities is so lackluster it violates federal laws meant to protect people from institutionalization.

On Wednesday, Judge Paul Barbadoro of the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire scheduled a trial to begin Nov. 9 in what has been a yearslong legal battle between the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services and a coalition of advocacy nonprofits and law firms. The judge blocked out 11 non-consecutive days for the trial.
