Jane Tilly, The Urban Institute
April 1999
This 22-page Issue Brief by Jane Tilly of the Public Policy Institute summarizes the findings of studies in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States that reviewed consumer-directed Long Term Care programs in these countries. Consumer-directed long-term care programs permit consumers to manage their own supportive services. The studies cover (1) surveys of beneficiaries of social insurance programs, (2) evaluations of demonstration projects that provided cash to persons with disabilities, and (3) surveys of beneficiaries of means-tested programs.
