Long-term care in the United States and other countries suffers
multiple problems. Many people find it difficult to afford the high
costs of services available and there is often inadequate care
coordination, which compromises care quality, particularly amongst
those eligible for multiple public programs. Recruitment and
retention of a well-trained, stable workforce is also considered a
challenge that needs to be addressed. The policy debate leading up
to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) drew
attention to prevailing deficiencies in the way long-term care is
delivered, regulated, and financed in the United States. This
collection reviews what was accomplished by the legislation and
what still remains to be done. Just how effective is the ACA likely
to be in addressing the challenges plaguing the long-term care
sector? Did it result in meaningful change or make little impact?
This book answers these questions, drawing contributions from among
the most eminent long-term care experts in the United States. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Aging & Social Policy.
