Abstract:
The AARP Public Policy Institute (PPI) has launched LTSS Choices--a multifaceted project designed to advance the transformation and modernization of the nation's long-term services and supports (LTSS) system. In the U.S., we need to reinvent the LTSS infrastructure and orient the system around consumer choices and preferences, as well as quality services. One of our priorities must be to elevate policies that improve the quality of institutional care, while expanding the array of other LTSS choices for all consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the inadequate quality of care that residents of nursing homes face every day in the United States and the urgent need for reform. In that light, this Spotlight focuses on the impact of the pandemic on residents and how we can improve their situation--both during the pandemic and into the future.
