Abstract
Caring for 1.5 million seniors in Ohio is a challenge for the 800 long-term care organizations employing 100,000 staff. According to AARP, 3 million Baby Boomers live in Ohio and represent 33% of the state's adult population. Overcoming organizational obstacles is critical to serving seniors now and into the future. The Long-Term Services, Support & Healthcare Consortium (LTSSHC) began meeting in November 2014, to bring together key thought leaders to address these complex issues.
