Description
Tracey LaPierre and co-authors examine how backup care plans held up in Kansas during the COVID-19 pandemic. Medicaid home services require such plans so that care continues when a regular worker cannot come. The team surveyed 100 people receiving home care and interviewed 70 recipients, workers, relatives, and providers about the emergency years.
A third of recipients said they had no backup plan at all, and under half of those with one felt it prepared them. Workers were hard to find and keep, and 39 percent of recipients went without care for two weeks or more. Interviewees also felt plan quality and coordination had slipped under managed care. The authors urge plans built with families and refreshed often.
