Coordinating Services Across the Continuum of Health, Housing, and Supportive Services

National Academy for State Health Policy

This article describes trends in three areas of state long-term care policy for elderly low-income Medicaid beneficiaries—providing home care services to residents in subsidized housing and assisted living; offering nursing home residents opportunities to relocate to community settings; and integrating acute and long-term care services for beneficiaries who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The information was obtained from reports and studies on state policy, site visits, and interviews with state officials. Multiple initiatives responding to consumer preferences and fragmentation of the delivery systems were identified. Key components were consumer demand; the availability of nursing facility alternatives; and state priorities for controlling expenditure growth. States use Medicaid to develop broad service menus that include in-home, community, residential, and institutional services. Several states are conducting demonstration programs that improve coordinating or integration of longterm care with the acute care system
