SUMMARY

Family Care operated in 53 counties and had expenditures of $936.4 million in FY 2009-10. Participant assessments and care plans are generally complete and timely, but cost-effectiveness is difficult to assess. As the Department and the Legislature consider program changes, it will be important to balance budgetary considerations, the needs of low-income adults who have disabilities or are frail and elderly, and the quality of available services.
