In New York and across the country major reforms are being implemented to change the ways in which long term care is delivered, especially those services which are paid for by Medicaid. Containing or lowering costs is a dominant consideration for the government. In turn, providers seek, often through powerful lobbying, to protect their financial interests. As a result, though consumers are the reason the system exists, their interests often get lost in the shuffle and are under-represented when policies are implemented.
LTCCC's new report, Long Term Care Restructuring in New York State: A Consumer Perspective, identifies and discusses the major consumer priorities and presents recommendations on how the long term care system can better serves consumers.
