What We Need
In order to strengthen our message with federal officials, we need to share REAL stories, YOUR stories. Tell us about how you — as a person who receives HCBS services, a family member, friend or service provider — have seen an improved quality of life, more independence, and more opportunities because of Medicaid HCBS. Tell us about life in the community and about how you or someone you know appreciates being able to live outside of a nursing home.
How We Will Use Your Stories
We will use these stories to advocate for strong implementation of HCBS rules and for continued federal HCBS funding. People in federal leadership positions must hear how older Americans depend on and appreciate Medicaid HCBS.
How to Weigh In
Please send your story (500 words or less) and a photo (optional) to hcbsadvocacy@gmail.com. Tell us what state you live in, whether you/your family member/friend/client receive HCBS for aging or disability services, what types of services you receive (help with work, getting dressed, shopping, etc.), how it has improved your/their quality of life, and anything else you want to share about the value of HCBS.
