Fiscal Challenges to a Strong Home and Community-Based Long-Term Care System: Oregon’s Fight to Maintain Leadership

05/01/2008 | Requests *

Summary

In order for Oregon to balance its two-year budget for 2001-03, the Seniors and People with Disabilities Division (SPD) in the Department of Human Services was mandated to reduce LTC spending by nearly 30%. This paper analyzes the 2003 cuts to Oregon’s Medicaid long-term care (LTC) system, the impact of those cuts on a well-developed home and community-based services (HCBS) system, how the state has responded, and lessons that could be learned from its response.
