Abstract:
Home- and community-based services (HCBS) are a form of long-term care that provide a range of personal, support, and health services for individuals in their homes or communities. These services are designed to help people remain in their homes and live as independently as possible. Over 10 million people in the United States need long-term care services and supports to assist them in life's daily activities, and about 83 percent of them remain in the community, rather than in institutionalized settings. HCBS include medical and non-medical care to the aged and to those with chronic illnesses or disabilities. The primary types of HCBS include homemaker services, personal care assistance, home health services, companion services, meal programs, senior centers, adult day care, rehabilitative services, transportation and respite care. For several reasons, HCBS programs have become more popular in recent years.
