Abstract: To better understand the population of Medicaid enrollees living in nursing homes or intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICFs/IID), researchers analyzed data from the Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) from 2006 and 2007 to determine the characteristics of enrollees remaining in nursing homes and ICFs/IID and their stays and assess how the length of institutional stays varies at the state level with changes in state constraints and policies. More specifically, the report explored the use of home and community-based services (HCBS) both before and after institutional stays and whether the length of institutional stays throughout a state corresponded to the percentage of Medicaid long-term care (LTC) spending the state allocated to HCBS.
