The Long-Term Care Puzzle and Mental Health Policy

Putting the Pieces Together

MARGARET M. HASTINGS

Northwestern University

The rapid growth in the elderly population has increased attention to long-term care and policies that guide and develop long-term care programs. Demands for long-term care are evident across the life span, and long-term care is a critical component of mental health policy. This article provides an overview of longterm care: its populations, services, and private and public financing resources. The state is identified as the centerpiece of long-term care and mental health policymaking. Emerging areas and new forces in long-term care policy are examined.
