[Headline] Ten Worst States Survey 2002/2003
[Subheading] Louisiana The Worst in the Nation

Periodically ADAPT ranks how the states are doing in providing options for people with disabilities and older Americans to live and receive sup-port services in the community.

Looking at the states provision of long term services and supports, our analysis for this ranking weighed various long term care factors based both on published data and on the evaluation of people with disabilities (old and young).

ADAPT used three sources of information to rank the states:

* The MEDSTAT Group Inc data on Medicaid long term care expenditure in Federal Fiscal Year 2001; (May,2002)

* The State of the States in Develop-mental Disabilities: 2002 Study Summary; (June 2002)

* Advocate's assessment of the states services.(September 2002)

The rankings at right are ADAPT's analysis of the above information:
