State Scorecard on Long Term Services & Supports - ILTCI2012

Session Description: Some states significantly out-perform others in the delivery of long term care services and supports (LTSS) to older adults and people with disabilities. This session discusses a newly released study that examines four key dimensions of state LTSS system performance: affordability and access; choice of setting and provider; quality of life and care; and support for family caregivers. The study assesses each states performance as a whole and on 25 individual indicators, some of which were measured for the first time. The session discusses ways in which this scorecard can help states make and sustain targeted improvements so that people can live and age with dignity in their own homes and communities.
