Building Sustainable Long-Term Care Infrastructure Across States
Article Publication Date
Summary
The National Conference of State Legislatures has released a new brief exploring how states are building sustainable infrastructure for long-term services and supports (LTSS).
As the population ages and demand for LTSS grows, states are under increasing pressure to balance cost, access and quality across both public and private LTSS systems. This brief highlights state strategies to strengthen LTSS system sustainability, including rebalancing toward home and community based services, supporting individuals in the purchase of private long-term care insurance, and implementing new financing models.
