NASHP Webinar to Cover State Multisector Aging Plans and Caregiver Support
The National Academy for State Health Policy will host a webinar on September 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET examining how states are using multisector plans on aging to advance caregiver support initiatives. The session will explore state strategies for integrating caregiver support across health and social service systems. States are increasingly using Medicaid waiver authorities and state plan options to fund and coordinate caregiver respite, training, and support services as part of broader efforts to sustain home- and community-based services delivery.
Why it mattersState caregiver support strategies directly affect Medicaid LTSS sustainability, managed care HCBS network adequacy requirements, and coordination with Older Americans Act services that supplement Medicaid-funded supports.
