Long-term services and supports (LTSS) encompass medical, functional, and social services for individuals with complex health needs due to aging, chronic illness, or disability.
With approximately 9 million people utilizing LTSS in the United States, these programs promote independence by assisting with healthcare and activities of daily living.
Many people who receive LTSS stay in their own homes for a longer time. This not only has the potential to enhance their overall quality of life but also contributes to their sense of well-being.
As more people in the United States get older, there will be a greater need for managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS).
