The Dual Burden: Making Housing and Long-Term Care Affordable for Older Adults
Location: Virtual
Speaker(s): Kelly Cronin, Jennifer Molinsky, Samara Scheckler, Peyton Whitney, Ryan Elza
Many older adults want to live independently but can only do so if they have access to long-term care (LTC) services to help with bathing, dressing, shopping, cooking, or other daily healthcare routines. However, many cannot afford this assistance, particularly after they pay their housing costs. Samara Scheckler and Peyton Whitney will discuss a new paper that estimates the number of older households unable to afford these services and strategies that could make them more affordable, and Jennifer Molinsky will moderate a discussion with Kelly Cronin and Ryan Elza from the HHS Administration for Community Living.
