Abstract

The Hilltop Institute’s Director of Long-Term Supports and Services, Cynthia H. Woodcock, and Manager of Health Services Research, Al Adamson, presented a workshop on September 29, 2008 in Boston at The Spirit of Independence: 24th National Home and Community Based Services Conference convened by the National Association of State Units on Aging. In the workshop, entitled A Methodology for Projecting a State’s Long-Term Care Costs, they discussed the methodology that Hilltop developed to project long-term care costs in Maryland for 2010, 2020, and 2030, how other states could use that methodology to project future spending, and offered guidelines on how states could facilitate change in their long-term care systems.
