According to the National Council on Aging, "the vast majority of persons in need of long-term care services (80 percent) are residing in the community."

There is no evidence to support choices B, C, or D. While home- and community-based services may result in cost savings compared to institutional care, this is not a proven fact, as it may depend on a variety of factors such as the population being served and the specific services provided. State governors may have differing opinions on home- and community-based services, but there is no evidence to suggest that most avoid them due to costs. Additionally, while some family members may be paid with Medicaid vouchers to provide care, this is not the only way that home- and community-based services are provided.
