This paper describes a qualitative study of factors affecting decisions about use of Medicaid-funded long-term care (LTC) services in Arkansas for the elderly (aged 65+), non-elderly adults with physical disabilities (aged 21-64), and adults with developmental disabilities (aged 18+). From focus groups with LTC service providers and key informant interviews with consumers and other decision-makers, three themes for improving LTC services emerged: (1) Leveling the playing field for home and community-based services (HCBS) and institutional services; (2) information dissemination and counseling; and (3) expanding services to meet unmet needs. Policy recommendations are made to improve access to HCBS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
