The LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston conducts qualitative and quantitative research in 6 key areas that directly affect the lives of older adults in the United States and around the globe.
The LTSS Center works with a broad range of partners to assess the effectiveness of promising strategies, programs, and services for older adults. We share study findings with state and federal policy makers, and with providers of long-term services and supports (LTSS), so they can translate our research into evidence-based action to improve quality of care and quality of life for older adults.
Our areas of work include:
HOUSING PLUS SERVICES
Finding solutions that enable older adults with low and modest incomes to age safely and successfully in their communities
AGING & HEALTH
Building a robust evidence base for new approaches that improve population health throughout the lifespan
NURSING HOMES
Helping providers, regulators, and policy makers ensure that nursing homes provide the highest quality of care
ENGAGEMENT
Engaging older adults in our work, and guiding other organizations in the LTSS field to do the same
