Three goals
The Elder Care Coalition has established three goals for its work in the coming year:
• Local communities will have agreed-upon priorities and implementation plans to assure that at-risk elders and their families will have access to a choice of long term care services
• Elders/families will have information needed to make personal choices about long term care, and opportunities to participate in community planning that affects them
• Policy makers, business leaders, and the general citizenry will be aware of elders needs and the impact of demographic trends, will be positioned to make informed decisions about long term care system develop
