About
the SLP
The over-arching
goal of the Senior Living Program is to create a comprehensive
long-term care system that:
- Is consumer-directed
- Provides
a balance between the alternatives of home and community-based
services and institutional care
- Contributes
to the quality of the lives of Iowans; and
- Has an
ongoing source of funds to support home and community based
services.
There are
two major portions of the program. The first portion, operated
through the Iowa Department of Human Services, focuses on making
changes in the nursing home industry. For example, the program
transitions the standard payment system from a flat rate reimbursement
(regardless of level of care) to a system in which reimbursement
varies, depending on the level of services required by individual
residents. In addition, it provides grant opportunities for nursing
facilities to convert excess nursing home rooms to alternative
services like assisted living, adult day services, or other home
and community based services. The funded providers may serve any
person needing long-term care alternative services.
The second
major part of the program, funded through the Iowa Department on Aging and implemented by the Area Agencies on Aging and the
aging network, helps pay for home and community-based services
for low and moderate-income older persons. These funds are available
through the local Area Agency on Aging to pay providers to help
meet the service needs of low and moderate income older persons,
often linked to the Case Management
Program for the Frail Elderly (CMPFE).

The
Senior Living Trust provides important benefits to stakeholders:
- Benefits
for Nursing Homes- Provides grants for conversions of beds,
improved reimbursement under Medicaid, takes empty beds out
of the occupancy formula, and can help move the nursing facility
above 80% occupancy for the long term. The Senior Living Program
also allows nursing homes to broaden their income base, tap
other long-term care funding streams (Home and Community-Based
Services waivers, Elderly Services contracts, etc.), and enhance
employment opportunities in local communities.
- Benefits
for Home and Community Based Service Providers- Helps to
develop missing service components. Additional funding is available
for home and community-based services through contracts with
Area Agencies on Aging and Medicaid Home and Community-Based
Services waivers.
- Benefits
to Consumers-
Improved access to long-term care alternative services in the
most appropriate setting for the individual consumer and improved
financial assistance for long-term care alternative services.
- Benefits
for State Government-
Moves closer to state goals of a more balanced and cost-effective
long-term care service system and fulfillment of responsibility
to constituents, fewer calls from constituents with unmet needs,
and prepares the system for the anticipated growth of older
populations.

Senior
Living Program Report
This report
shows the number of older low-income and moderate-income Iowans
who received service from the Senior Living Program (SLP) and
the number of units by service category. Additionally, it shows
the number of persons served across services. In other words,
if you add the total number of clients from all services it is
higher than the actual number of persons served across all services,
because some people need and receive more than one service. (Please
note: this is preliminary data, and may be subject to change.)

Case Management Program for
the Frail Elders (CMPFE) Unmet Needs Reports
The CMPFE program, administered by the Iowa Department on Aging
and operated by the Area Agencies on Aging, is the network that
coordinates home and community based services for frail and vulnerable
Iowans aged 60 and older. These reports show unmet needs identified
and reported by CMPFE Case Managers during the development of
the consumers service plan. (Please note: this is preliminary
data reported to IDA from AAAs and data may be subject to change.)

Senior
Living Program (SLP) Unmet Needs Reports
Despite
the successes of the Senior Living Program and other efforts of
the Iowa Aging Network, there continue to be documented unmet
needs throughout the state, in part because of general fund budget
reductions. These reports show unmet needs identified and reported
to Area Agencies on Aging by Senior Living Program funded service
providers.
