Family Care Update: Hebel & Thill reported that Sauk County started Family Care on September 1, 2008. Currently we have 312 members. Irwin reported on the makeup of the Long Term Care Southwest Family Care Alliance Board. Meetings are held once per month. Several providers suggested more education/training for providers prior to Family Care/Managed Care implementation.
Future Role for LTSPC: Hebel reported the future of the Long Term Support Planning Committee (LTSPC) related to COP and other long term care programs is unclear. This is because the Family Care program will now have a separate governing board and consumer advisory committee. The State may decide to merge the Family Support Committee with the COP Committee. Hebel will keep committee informed of any upcoming changes.
