Description
More older adults live without close family, and state rules decide who counts as family for their care. Jane Lowers reports on a policy project about those rules in this 2024 conference paper. The work grew out of a health and aging policy fellowship placement with a group called ADvancing States. The placement let her study how states write and apply care policy up close.
Lowers checked how each state defines family in care rules and in Medicaid waiver programs. She compared state rules with federal ones, such as the Older Americans Act. State directors gained a view of where their rules line up and where they could borrow ideas from other states. The project also showed what kind of proof advocates need to win fair services for adults aging alone.
