What’s LTSS and Why It Matters for Millions of Americans
From home care to nursing homes: understanding the backbone of aging support in America.
Location: TBD Location on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC (coming soon!)
As America’s population ages, millions of people rely on Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) to fill the gaps in our healthcare system, whether at home, in the community, or in nursing facilities. But what exactly is LTSS, who needs it, and why is it central to today’s policy landscape?
Join the Alliance for Health Policy for a timely Hill briefing that breaks down what LTSS includes, how it’s financed, and why recent federal budget pressures are raising new questions about how we support aging, independence, and caregiving in America.
Every state and congressional district is impacted by the rising demand for long-term care, with caregivers, providers, and older adults facing unique pressures at the local level, and the briefing will help break down this national issue to county-level impacts.
