DISABILITY SCOOP: Community Living Spending Continues To Rise
According to a new report, more Medicaid dollars are going toward community-based services than institutional care. In 2014, 53% was directed to community-based services. That's a 51% increase from the previous year. This suggests that ideas about how to best serve people with developmental disabilities are trending toward community living. However, most of funds to care for older adults and those with physical disabilities went to institutional settings.
