NASHP Report: Medicaid Supports for Family Caregivers
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has released a report, "Medicaid Supports for Family Caregivers."
Family caregivers help Medicaid enrollees safely stay in their own homes, prevent or delay hospital and nursing facility stays, and provide personal care services that Medicaid agencies would otherwise need to pay for. Giving them more support could help them provide higher-quality care over a longer period. NASHP will be holding a webinar on November 12 to discuss the report.
The report examines the strategies states currently use and presents four interrelated actions the federal government could take to foster spread of innovative strategies that some states have developed.
