Creating a Community-Based Services Report Card for Your State provides you with strategies to determine your state’s commitment to home and community-based services and measure the effectiveness of providing opportunities to offer participants choice and control. These collection activities are applied to various funding strategies (Medicaid; Medicare; Centers for Disease Control; Older Americans Act, including Medicaid, Older Americans Act and Veterans Administration).
