Interoffice Memorandum January 2004 to: from: re: Illinois House of Representatives Michael J. Madigan, Speaker Speaker's Summit on Senior Services — Long Term Care Attached is the SUMMIT ON SENIOR SERVICES — LONG TERM CARE report, which is the second of three topics recommended for special consideration by this 93 rd General Assembly. This report includes findings, recommendations, and summaries of the testimony provided at the Regional and State Summit Meetings conducted this past summer and fall. The report is intended as a comprehensive record and reference to assist in the further evaluation and implementation of long term care system reforms in Illinois. The recommendations are proposals submitted by the various witnesses, but have not been endorsed by any particular member(s) of the Illinois House of Representatives. The recommendations are presented for further analysis during the upcoming 2004 legislative session. It must be noted, however, that a broad, extraordinary consensus of regional and state summit participants indicated a need for system reform. Health experts, providers and consumers of care, service organizations, advocacy groups, and other interested parties agreed on many of the elements of a reform agenda. This consensus should contribute to the successful development of a major legislative initiative. I appreciate your active participation in this process through the regional and state summit meetings; especially the directors of aging programs in Maine and Minnesota for sharing their expertise. I also thank Representative Jack McGuire and Representative Dan Reitz for chairing the final meeting, and Representatives Joe Lyons, Marlow Colvin, and Suzanne Bassi for their participation. Finally, I commend all of the people who appeared at the regional and state summit meetings for their interest and contributions. The entire process was educational and productive in terms of ideas and recommendations to help effect meaningful system reform. I hope this interest and involvement will continue as we move forward. i
