Abstract

This report provides policymakers and other interested stakeholders a primer on rural long-term services and support (LTSS), including the fundamentals of the rural LTSS system, rural access to and use of LTSS, and discussion of the opportunities within and limitations of current federal and state LTSS policy for advancing rural health system transformation. The report focuses primarily on rural older adults (65+ years of age) who use LTSS.
