The 2023 National Inventory of Self-Directed Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) and the 2023 LTSS State Scorecard were recently released through a collaboration between AARP, The Commonwealth Fund, The John A. Hartford Foundation, and the Scan Foundation. This extensive inventory overviews publicly funded self-directed LTSS over the last three years. It explores data such as funding sources, populations served, and recent trends influencing the LTSS framework. Join Acumen Fiscal Agent as we drill down and elaborate on a few key points discovered in this year’s inventory.
Information for this year’s inventory was collected through various methods. Data regarding self-direction programs was gathered between October 2022 and February 2023, and a comprehensive review of state-run self-directed processes and systems was conducted. (This included all 50 states and the District of Columbia.) State program administrators, with the assistance of state financial management services and enrollment estimates, provided self-directed enrollment information.
The 2023 Inventory focuses on self-direction enrollment as a meaningful measure of growth. The key findings below demonstrate how self-direction enrollment has changed since the 2019 Inventory.
