Milwaukee County Long-Term Care Planning Process Report: Planning Process June 2006-July 2008

Milwaukee County Disabilities Services Division currently has a waiting list of about 2,500 people between the ages of 18 to 59 who have disabilities and need long-term care services. The Planning Council assisted the County in planning for a managed long-term care system that would put an end to this lengthy wait for services. This report provides a high level overview of the planning structure, activities, milestones, and results of Milwaukee County's Long-Term Care Planning process for adults with disabilities under age 60. For more information on this planning process, visit our Long-Term Care Planning Website at www.planningcouncil.org/longtermcare.

Please note that the report states that Milwaukee County's plan is expected to be implemented in the first quarter of 2009; however, due to issues with the State budget, implementation has been pushed back. Information regarding implementation will be posted on the Long-Term Care Planning website as it becomes available and is finalized.
