State Long-term Care Progress: A Blueprint for Federal Solutions

Millions of older Americans and individuals with disabilities rely on long-term services and supports (LTSS) for assistance with daily tasks like bathing and eating. With the aging population projected to increase by 20 million over the next 15 years, demand for these services will rise. Despite significant investment, the LTSS system remains fragmented, costly, and inaccessible to many.

Join BPC as we explore bipartisan federal reforms to improve the nation’s LTSS system, state trends and innovation, as well as our analysis of data from the AARP LTSS State Scorecards.
