Major gaps exist in the care provided to older adults and people with disabilities in the US, according to AARP’s new Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) State Scorecard.

The Scorecard, co-funded by JAHF, uses data from a wide range of sources to comprehensively describe how state LTSS systems are performing. Despite more overall progress than the last update in 2020, every state has areas for improvement, especially related to the long-term care workforce, equity in nursing homes, support for family caregivers and emergency preparedness.
