This is an American first … a presidential web site that features long-term care and long-term care financing. In the agenda’ section on the White House web site, President Obama highlights long-term care with this paragraph below.

Strengthen Long-Term Care Options: Obama and Biden will work to give seniors choices about their care, consistent with their needs, and not biased towards institutional care. They will work to reform the financing of long term care to protect seniors and families, and to improve the quality of elder care by training more nurses and health care workers.

As the President and other policymakers think about innovating in long-term care financing reform, here are two great resources: AAHSA’s Long-Term Care Solution web site and Ecumen CEO Kathryn Roberts’ whitepaper on long-term care financing, which you can download here in the long-term care section.
