This policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, produced with support from The SCAN Foundation, presents findings from a yearlong study that followed a small but typical set of older Californians with disabilities who depend on paid public programs and unpaid help to live safely and independently at home. All of those people who were surveyed share a common desire to maintain their independence at almost any cost.
