| Annotation | Although a number of studies have researched older people's views about the current health and long-term care system for older people, there have been no studies on the opinions of the policy makers and agency representatives. This study provides information on access, quality and costs of long-term care services, as perceived by a national sample of policy makers and administrators representing older people in the United States. Descriptive analyses of the data showed that there were significant differences in perceived access, use, quality and costs of care by service type and agency affiliation. The results present an interesting dilemma for policymakers as many of the services found to be most widely available and of the highest quality were considered too costly. Implications for public policy and suggestions for further research are outlined. |
