AAHSA's Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) team provides information and resources to keep our providers informed and up to date on legislative, operational, and legal issues and opportunities affecting HCBS providers. HCBS includes Adult Day Services, Home Care/Home Health, Hospice, Programs for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), Senior Centers, and transportation services.
AAHSA offers six HCBS-related listservs, including: adult day services, home and community-based services (general), home health, hospice, meals programs providers (including congregate and home-delivered), and social work. Signing up is easy, and if you have any problems or questions (including how to post to the listserv), please contact Morgan Gable.
