New Book Released on Long-Term Care

Concerned about the baby-boom population aging? Thinking about what will happen to your parents, or yourself as you age?

The Urban Institute Press has released a new book: "Long-Term Care for the Elderly" by Robyn Stone.

"Long-Term Care for the Elderly sets forth an evidence-based research and policy agenda to identify the financing and delivery approaches that optimize quality of care, quality of life, and cost outcomes. Examining the Affordable Care Act, Robyn Stone evaluates initiatives such as the Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), EverCare, the Home-Based Primary Care Program (HBCP), the Federal Coordinated Health Care Office, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. Also discussed are significant policy interventions to expand the supply of caregiving professionals, encourage workforce education and training, and make long-term care jobs more attractive. With Stone's guidance, the vision of a long-term care system for 2030 could become a reality."
