An effort to build a better future for long-term care in Michigan is getting some much needed funding. About 200-thousand dollars has been allocated in the general fund budget bill signed into law by Governor Rick Snyder. The money will be used for a rigorous needs assessment and analysis of potential solutions for long-term care in Michigan. Health officials says the fastest growing part of the state’s Medicaid budget is long-term care. State Representative Jon Hoadley , a Democrat from Kalamazoo, says regardless of the political party everybody has a care story and knows how important it is to consider the changing needs of long term care.
