PHOENIX, Arizona – AARP’s new Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Scorecard finds that more than three years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, care provided in the United States for older adults and people with disabilities is painfully inadequate. The report finds that major gaps persist in every state, including Arizona, especially related to support adult day care services, nursing home residents with pressure sores, nursing home Covid-19 vaccination rates for residents and staff and access to housing assistance for people with disabilities.
