Department Annual Reports

  • Shaping the Future of Long Term Care and Independent Living 2006 to 2016 (May 2007)
    The next ten years offer an opportunity to create a model long term care system for elders and adults with physical disabilities. With that in mind, the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living publishes its 5th edition of Shaping the Future of Long Term Care & Independent Living 2006-2016. This yearly report is intended to be a living document, adjusted annually to reflect changing demographics and trends. By using a rolling 10-year forecast of long term care need and use, the Department can continually plan and adjust for the future.

    The Pacific Health Policy Group (PHPG) was retained in August 2006 to perform a study of Vermont’s Medicaid reimbursement methodology for nursing facilities. The study was conducted under the aegis of a Task Force comprised of representatives from the Agency of Human Services (AHS) and the Vermont Health Care Association. This report includes, as its first two chapters, two earlier, interim reports: Summary Assessment of Current System, issued in October, and Assessment of Alternative Reimbursement Models, issued in November. Chapter Three of this report contains the Task Force’s final recommendations.

    This is the report submitted in response to the legislature’s request (H.881, §151) that the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living shall assess what criteria would be most equitable for placing an individual on the waiting list for attendant care services. This report includes the criteria considered, its analysis of the issues, and its recommendations for the criteria to be used.

    Submitted by: The Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living
    During the 2005-2006 legislative session Act No. 185 relating to education finance simplification (H.880) contained language instructing the Commissioner of the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) to study whether some or all of “adult disability care payments” should be included in household income for purposes of calculating the education property tax adjustment and whether exclusion of the payments from that calculation was integral to maintaining the system of care for adults with developmental disabilities. The findings are contained in this report.
