Appendix K: Stakeholder Questionnaires

Frail and disabled older Floridians and the families and front-line workers that care for them are all experiencing unprecedented challenges.

States have a window of opportunity during the COVID-19 crisis to request additional federal funding and flexibility for home and community based services (also referred to as HCBS) for this population. HCBS includes services such as home health care, skilled nursing, personal care assistance needed for those seniors who are so frail and disabled that they are at risk of being institutionalized. 

Your feedback will inform potential action in Florida to help older adults who need home health services in order to live safely at home and avoid being in a nursing home or hospital.
