Abstract: Long-term care policy for older Latinos occurs at the intersection of broader policy debates about the funding for long-term care in general, which includes little or no consideration of any racial/ethnic diversity of the population, and debates over issues such as immigration policy and health disparities, which includes little or no consideration of long-term care. Nevertheless, some contemporary efforts around long-term care are likely to benefit older Latinos, while other trends will bypass them. This chapter examines some of the historical trends in long-term care use to identify drivers of long-term care policy and their impact on Latino elders, followed by an overview of current policy trends and information on the perspective of Latino elders and their families as a window into the likely impact of policy changes on disabled older Latinos and their families.
