The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way some older people and their relatives think about long-term care for those who cannot live independently, moving towards at-home care rather than nursing homes and other senior care facilities. But staffing shortages continue to afflict the home care industry across Maryland and the nation, as well as developmental disability care organizations.  Medicaid has been the nation’s largest funder of long-term care, and in recent years, the federal program spent more on home- and community-based long-term care rather than institutional care, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.  The pandemic caused “significant fluctuations” in long-term care services, as nursing facilities across the state saw a significant decrease in service while home care increased, Steven Schuh, the deputy secretary for health care financing and the Medicaid director for Maryland Department of Health, told the legislature’s Joint Committee on Children, Youth, and Families on Wednesday.
