Does Consumer Direction Affect the Quality of Medicaid Personal Assistance in Arkansas?
06/21/2004 | Requests *Summary
Medicaid beneficiaries who have disabilities and receive personal care services (PCS) from home care agencies have little control over their care. As a result, some are dissatisfied, have unmet needs, and experience diminished quality of life. This study of Arkansas’s Cash and Counseling demonstration program, IndependentChoices, examines how consumer direction affects these aspects of care quality relative to agency-directed services
