RIC Resources for Culturally and Linguistically Competent Long-term Services and Supports (LTSS)

LTSS are a vital part of care for many dually eligible beneficiaries. LTSS include nursing facility services, adult day programs, home care, and personal care services. Individuals from minority groups often experience disparities in access, quality, and outcomes in LTSS. To help address these disparities, providers and plans may look for ways to meet the cultural and linguistic needs, values, and preferences of diverse individuals.

Resources for Integrated Care (RIC) invites you to explore the resources linked below that contain promising practices relevant to a wide variety of LTSS settings, and case studies demonstrating these practices in action.
