HCBS
Quality Measures Webinar Replay and Materials Available
The quality of life of
older adults and persons living with all types of
disabilities is closely tied to the services they receive
in home and community settings. Among these services are
residential supports, personal care services, mental health
services, and community living supports.
Despite its importance, the quality of home and
community-based services (HCBS), as well as the outcomes
for older adults and people with disabilities who receive
them experience, has historically been difficult to define and
even more difficult to measure.
Through working with researchers, measure developers,
policymakers, and advocates, the Research
and Training Center on HCBS Outcome Measurement
(RTC/OM) at the University of Minnesota Institute on
Community Integration has developed measures that focus on
how well Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are helping
older adults and people with a variety of disabilities live
the lives they want.
