The Changing Landscape of Aging Services

Driven by the Coordinated Care Initiative and health care reform, the familiar landscape of Long Term Services and Supports that we’ve known for years is about to change, requiring consumers, healthcare providers and community based organizations to adapt. How can stakeholders shape new policies and service delivery models? How will providers of health and supportive services interact in this new landscape? How can community based organizations engage to become the change? These questions, and others, might best be answered through an exploration of possibilities and recentdevelopments.
 
As part of the Senior Services Coalition’s January 31, 2013 Policy Forum, we invited speakers with various perspectives on the above questions to participate on a panel discussion on “The Changing Landscape of Aging Services.” Anna Rich, Senior Staff Attorney with National Senior Citizens Law Center, opened the discussion with an overview of the Coordinated Care Initiative that will be driving the transition of LTSS into managed care. The panelists that followed brought perspectives from managed care and from organizations and models of care that are working to adapt to the changing landscape.
