Abstract
Through a statewide telephone survey of 819 beneficiaries (or their proxies), we collected data regarding client and aide demographics, as well as clients' satisfaction, outcomes, perspectives on staff performance, and complaints associated with home-based personal care services provided under the Virginia Medicaid Elderly and Disabled (E&D) waiver. Most respondents indicated that services improved their lives, and they were generally satisfied. Opportunities for improvement exist, however, especially related to the amount of time spent with the client, the need for training, and communication issues. Ongoing use of client/family caregiver surveys is warranted to allow continued monitoring of service provision.
