State Performance on Choice of Setting and Provider

In a high-performing LTSS system, a person-and family-centered approach allows for consumer choice and control of services (including self-directed models). A well-trained and adequately paid workforce is available to provide LTSS. Home and community-based services are widely available. Provider choice fosters equity, and consumers across communities have access to a range of culturally competent services and supports.
