NASHP Report: Emerging Respite Care Strategies in Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waivers for Older Adults, Adults with Physical Disabilities, and their Family Caregivers
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has published a report, "Emerging Respite Care Strategies in Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waivers for Older Adults, Adults with Physical Disabilities, and their Family Caregivers." NASHP is holding a webinar to discuss the report on June 29.
This report explores how seven states currently deliver respite care for family caregivers and emerging strategies that other states can replicate. Although most states offer respite services through Medicaid, varied program policies and payment rates among states greatly affect caregivers’ access to high-quality programs.
NASHP's RAISE Act Family Caregiver Resource and Dissemination Center will host a webinar on June 29 to highlight key takeaways from the report. Medicaid officials in Kentucky and Virginia will outline respite care policies that increase service access within their states and how they can be replicated in other states.
