- Abstract:
- This paper examines the extent to which states have balanced the delivery of Medicaid-funded long-term services and supports to people in their homes (or in more home-like settings in their communities) and in institutions. What is unique about this report is its primary focus on older people and adults with physical disabilities separate from other long-term care populations, such as people with developmental disabilities. The paper explores what states have been able to accomplish under current Medicaid law and addresses the impact that federal policies have on the states' ability to balance service delivery.
