Abstract
We examine whether the extension of LTC subsidies and supports produce any health and wellbeing returns. We show that SAAD, a reform that universalized subsidies and in Spain impacted survival, mental health, subjective longevity and life expectancy. Furthermore, we document that indeed the effect differs by the effectiveness at the implementation of SAAD. Finally, we provide an estimate of the cost-effectiveness of SAAD.
