LTSS Evolve
...is an ongoing movement led by LeadingAge PA that strives to keep care recipients at the center of the aging services ecosystem in Pennsylvania.
Launched in spring 2023, LTSS Evolveās primary mission is to identify and address antiquated, redundant, and overly burdensome long-term services and supports (LTSS) rules, regulations, policies, and guidances by engaging policymakers at the state level.
These outdated requirements often result in unnecessary costs and impede the provision of true quality care by taking away valuable time and resources that could be better spent serving residents or participants.
Centered around direct input from mission-driven providers and residents across the aging services ecosystem, LTSS Evolve is the driving force behind LeadingAge PA's advocacy efforts to find modern regulatory and legislative solutions to problematic state provisions.
LTSS Evolve also elevates the voice and expertise of mission-driven providers, empowering them to implement innovative care solutions and use their lived experience to advance a more positive and modern perception of aging and aging services in their communities and beyond.
