About LTSS Choices

AARP Public Policy Institute has launched LTSS Choices—a multifaceted project with an overarching mission to catalyze the transformation and modernization of the nation’s long-term care system into one that meets the dynamic needs and preferences of consumers and their families.

This series of reports, blogs, videos, podcasts, and virtual convenings seeks to spark ideas for immediate, intermediate, and long-term options for reforming LTSS.  It will showcase current models that could be ramped up now as well as potential innovative models that may take time to fully create. It will emphasize evidence-based solutions and identify regulatory and funding barriers that limit the widespread use of promising practices.
