Long Term Care Reform (Family Care)

Planning for Change in Long Term Care (Family Care) In February 2006, Dane County was awarded a $100,000 Long Term Care Reform planning grant from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services (WDHFS). Dane County worked on this initiative with managed care partners, Community Living Alliance, Inc., and Elder Care of Wisconsin, Inc. Rock County received a $30,000 grant from WDHFS in June 2006 and joined Dane County and its partners in the planning process. The target groups covered under this grant were older adults and people with physical disabilities. During the planning process committees were formed to address different components of the Managed Care Organization and Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) development. We considered incorporating services for people with mental health and substance abuse needs and people with developmental disabilities into the ADRC and the managed care program. The final grant report was submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services in July 2008. During the planning process significant work was completed on a draft plan for an ADRC in Dane County. The Dane-Rock region did not submit a plan or timeline for implementation of Family Care in this region. Dane County continues to consider Family Care. Joint committees have developed an agenda for areas of study that are scheduled through December 2008.
