Challenge: Access to Care

Without Essential Staff in 2014, 1500+ Admissions Were Denied


As available caregivers decline so does access….

45% of care centers now report suspending admissions due to staff shortage

Challenge: Increased Demand

70% of people age 65+ will need long term services and supports

Challenge: Minnesotans Not Prepared

Only 10-12% of Minnesotans have long term care insurance.

52% have NO PLAN for paying for long term care.

Many believe Medicare pays for long term care…it doesn’t.

. . . 2/3 of persons in nursing homes

rely on Medicaid

“Should the State of Minnesota provide assistance to fund day-to-day services for older adults who cannot afford these services on their own?”

A. Funding for these

services should be

limited to what Medicare

or Medicaid will cover;

B. Additional funding should

be provided by the State,

but solely based on the

ability of each person to

pay for their services;

C. Additional funding should

be based on both ability

to pay but also consider

the individual medical

and living needs of each

person; OR

D. Additional funding should

be available to any older

Minnesotans in need of

services, even if they

have enough money to

pay for themselves?
