Aging in place. Providing mental health services for the elderly.

The elderly are at great risk of experiencing mental illness, and of not receiving necessary treatment. In Washington State, it was discovered that many of the elderly residing in public housing units suffered from mental illness and were too afraid to seek outside assistance or treatment. The Community Connections program was designed to provide onsite, cost-effective case management and stabilization services to these individuals.

Rationing care in Oregon.

As a means of curtailing rising health care costs under Medicaid, Oregon has developed a priority list of some 700 medical conditions. The list will serve as the basis for determining what Medicaid services low-income people in Oregon receive. The plan is being heralded by some as a significant step toward universal access to health care, while others see it as unfairly depriving many of needed services.

Medicaid: providing health care to (some of) America's poor.

Although Medicaid has done much to relieve the health care burdens of the poor and the elderly, it is still widely viewed as falling short of its charge to provide the poor and indigent with access to quality health care. The most frequently discussed problems with the program relate to its structure of eligibility, benefits, and payment policy--which vary from state to state. Reforms are desperately needed if Medicaid is to realize its original goal--to provide care for those who would not have access to it otherwise.

Rosehedge: a home and skilled care facility for people with AIDS.

Community Home Health Care's mission is to distinguish itself as a provider of new and innovative services in response to needs within the Seattle community. Rosehedge House, a residential home for people with AIDS, is an excellent example of how this traditional home care agency worked with other community organizations to create a home for people who would otherwise not have access to home-based care.
