Dear Advocate for Home and Community Services:
During the week of April 27th-May 1st The ADAPT Community will be
announcing the "2008 TEN BEST/TEN WORST STATES" for Home and Community
Services.
We would like your input in making these decisions. Below please find a
short
informal survey asking your opinions on the home and community programs your
State provides to people with disabilities, old and young. This includes
all
Medicaid waiver programs, Medicaid State Plan programs as well as all other
federally and State funded programs that allow people to remain in the
community.
THIS SURVEY SHOULD ONLY TAKE <30 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME!
(There are only 11 questions!)
PLEASE RETURN BY MARCH 15TH to:
ADAPT

We will also be looking at statistical data that has been developed by
other
advocacy/research groups as well as data developed by academic institutions
to
make our final determinations.
Please distribute this survey as widely as possible. The more input we get
from y'all the more accurate our results will be.
Thank you for your support.
