ACROSS THE STATES PROFILES OF LONG-TERM CE A IEPEENT LIVING RHO IS by Ari Houser Wendy Fox-Grage Mary Jo Gibson 06 AP 06

Introduction This short state-specific report has been created from the full book, Across the States 06: Profiles of Long-Term Care and Independent Living, to facilitate access to and distribution of a single state s information on key long-term care issues. To put this information in a broader context, readers also will want to refer to the Overview section of the full book, which highlights national trends and differences between states, and features key indicators for some of the most important current policy debates. Across the States 06 is a compilation of data on many facets of long-term care and independent living in each state and the District of Columbia. Published biennially since 1992 by the AP Public Policy Institute, the Across the States series was developed to help inform policy discussions among public and private sector leaders in long-term care throughout the United States. This 7 th edition of Across the States presents the most up-to-date data available at the time of production. The information is displayed in easy-to-use maps, tables, and graphics. The state-specific reports excerpt the six-page profile of each state from the heart of the full book. This profile provides state- and national-level data and state rankings for 150 indicators in six topic areas. The topic areas are Demographics, Livable Communities & Need for Long-Term Care, Home & Community-Based Services (HCBS), Nursing Facilities, Long-Term Care Financing, and Trends. In addition, the Long-Term Care and Independent Living Maps section, which shows regional patterns for fourteen indicators, is included in this report. Each state s ranking relative to other states for all indicators is included in each state report. In addition, the State Data and Rankings section in this edition of Across the States contains ranking tables for select indicators, and readers may download the complete set of ranking tables from the AP website (the address is at the bottom of this page). For each indicator, the highest data value is given a rank of 1. It is important to recognize that ranking highest does not necessarily imply doing the best (e.g. the highest poverty rate). Some of the indicators in Across the States 06 may be found in prior editions. Please exercise caution when making comparisons with information in earlier editions because of possible changes in the source or definition of a particular indicator. While a list of sources is included in this statespecific report, readers should refer to the Data Documentation section of the full book for complete information specific to each indicator. This section identifies the sources of data, provides a detailed explanation for each indicator, presents any caveats or limitations that apply to the data, and describes how the source or indicator definition may differ from previous years. Questions about the state-specific version of Across the States 06, the full book, or the state data and rankings supplement can be addressed to the AP Public Policy Institute, Independent Living/Long- Term Care Team, at 2-434-3890. Please visit http://www.aarp.org/acrossthestates for electronic versions of these publications.
