Summary
As the population ages, the need for home and community-based care is expected to rise. This chapter discusses public and private funding sources to help older adults with dependencies in their activities of daily living stay in their homes or find alternate community residential options. It explains the basics of the Older Americans Act, Medicaid waivers, the limited Medicare support for care at home, care of special populations such as veterans, Native Americans, and Native Alaska Elders, older adults with dementia, and those with mental health challenges. Residential housing options, assisted living communities, continuing care communities, and newer models for residential support including villages and naturally occurring retirement communities are discussed. Workforce challenges in providing care to the aging population are presented as a key factor in creating successful service programs.
