Begin the conversation with your family about your preferences, evaluate public and private resources available to provide care.  Maryland Task Force on Long Term Care Education and Planning, which Melissa Barnickel was Chair, developed aLTC Planning Toolkit.  Although this was developed for Maryland, all the information can be used for other locations.    

The Task Force considered options to educate and made recommendations regarding education methods that will “ensure that no Maryland resident reaches the age of 50 without having received complete information about the risk of needing long-term care and the private options available to pay for long-term care; and include information about the Maryland Medical Assistance Program (Maryland Medicaid), how the Program is funded, and whom the Program is intended to serve.”  The makeup of the Task Force deliberately includes public and private sector representatives.  To learn more, view the full report.  The appendix has a wealth of information!
