New Jersey Targets Long Term Care Initiatives

Wed, 10/25/2000 - 12:00am — Karen Stevenson
Description: 

New Jersey Citizen Action (NJCA) and the (National) Long Term Care Campaign are working together in an effort to raise long term care issues on a local level. Recently, the two organizations sponsored a Long Term Care meeting bringing together organizations throughout the state interested in raising these issues with the candidates before the November 2000 elections. The groups concluded that education is the first step. NJ's voters need to know "What is Long Term Care" and then we can address the problems of long term care. NJCA will mail information pamphlets on long term care to anyone who wants them to be disseminated by you to staff members, consumers, and others you believe are concerned about this issue. Please contact NJCA 732-246-4772.

Principal sponsors of the Campaign include the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), the Alzheimer's Association, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America. The Long Term Care Campaign is a coalition of 147 national organizations dedicated to enacting comprehensive legislation to protect American families against the devastating costs of long term care. The Campaign also works to defend long term care Medicaid, which pays for about half of our nation's long term care.
