) - AARP, a national senior citizen advocacy group, just released its 2023 long-term services and support scorecard where Alabama fell to 50th place. In 2020, Alabama previously ranked 48th place.The group ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on the state of nursing homes, home and community-based services, and the state legislation’s support of family caregivers.
Harding said this situation highlights the key issues the state is facing with long-term care services. Harding said another reason for the low score is the state legislature’s inaction to pass a caregiver tax credit. Harding said the state has more than 700,000 family caregivers who spend thousands of dollars out of pocket to care for their loved ones.
“The legislature can certainly help us with the caregiver tax credit,” Harding said. “We can look at just overall reform of the way we look at long-term care and we think that’s kind of long overdue.
