Baran points to a federal survey: After participants grappled with their care concerns, they had no trouble answering questions about action options.
Lakewood, OH July 18, 2017 -- Last year the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services issued a report about Americans’ concerns and actions related to long-term care (LTC), also referred to as long-term services and supports (LTSS). “The main takeaway was not the particulars of the responses, in our view,” says Pattianne Baran of ACSIA Partners LLC. “It was the fact that participants considered and faced the issues.”
In the HHS survey, 15,298 non-institutionalized Americans aged 40-70, a statistically-significant sample of the age group, answered seven questions about long-term care personal concerns and ten questions about long-term care actions.
CONCERNS: What is your degree of concern about –
ACTIONS: What is your degree of willingness to –
Key Findings:
The report concludes, “These findings highlight the need for increased education on the … choices and financing options.”
Baran agrees, and believes the survey itself opened the eyes of the 15,298 participants, “by provoking introspection and analysis.”
“All Americans would benefit from considering such questions,” Baran adds. “First the personal concerns, which are often hidden, then the action options.”
ACSIA Partners LLC has long-term care specialists in all parts of the country. “Part of our job is to ask the right questions and invoke the right thinking,” says Baran. “We’re glad to talk with consumers and business executives about any and all care-related concerns and actions, financial and otherwise.”
