This Chartbook is an update to the Chartbook: Older Adults and Adults with Physical Disabilities: Population and Service Use Trends in Maine 2010.

The information in this Chartbook is provided to help inform state policy makers, legislators, providers, advocates and others with an interest in this subject.
