The Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative is pleased to promote the following events from our Statewide Network of partners:
- Webinar: Financing Long-Term Care in Massachusetts – Release of the MA Long-Term Care Actuarial Study, hosted by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging & Independence, June 10 at 3:00 PM
Massachusetts residents of all ages, especially our growing population of older adults, use long-term services and supports (LTSS) when functional limitations and chronic illnesses create a need for assistance with routine daily activities like bathing, dressing, preparing meals, and administering medications. Yet, individuals often face significant challenges in planning for and financing long-term care. The result is a growing gap in care and coverage that deeply affects families in the Commonwealth, leaving too many residents without reliable, affordable options to meet their essential long-term care needs.
Join the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging & Independence for a dynamic webinar featuring the findings of the Massachusetts LTSS Feasibility Study, conducted by Milliman for the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The session will explore current long-term care financing options in the Commonwealth, analysis of several public insurance models, and viewpoints from an interdisciplinary panel of experts in the field.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in an informed discussion about the future of long-term care financing in Massachusetts.
