Several studies point to the numerous benefits that<unk>  programs have had on their patient populations, including allowing them to live safely within their communities. The more positive research on effectiveness centers on outcomes of interest tied to<unk>  programs. These include greater adult day health<unk>  use along with decreased numbers of hospitalizations and nursing home admissions. In fact, patients were less likely to be institutionalized when compared to those who waived 1915(c) home- and community-based services. Similarly, it has been noted that patients remain in contact with primary<unk>  longer; have greater survival rates, better health, better functional status, and better quality of life as reflected by increased social interaction; and experience less depression and fewer concerns after enrollment. There are, however, some drawbacks that patients have come to perceive with certain aspects of the<unk>  experience. Some patients have reported that they are not receiving enough information about their conditions and that their input into their own<unk>  is not being taken into consideration by providers. In addition, there is a prevalent concern amongst enrollees centered on losing their primary<unk>  physician with whom they have established a relationship and trust with.
