Health Reform Commission Workgroups: Long-term Care and Consumer Choices
Scope | Members | Meetings & Materials
Scope 
Chairperson: William Lukhard
This workgroup will focus on improving long-term care options for seniors and persons with disabilities in Virginia. The group will examine long-term care services for seniors and persons with disabilities of all income groups and identify gaps in coverage for specific groups. The workgroup will use the experiences of other states, the federal government, and local communities to develop recommendations for the Commission on how to improve access to long term care services for those with and without Medicaid, educate people about the importance of long-term care planning, and meet increasing demands for services while maximizing consumer choice and flexibility of care.
