A new report from the Michigan Poll on Healthy Aging highlights major gaps in planning and preparedness for long-term care among older Michiganders, and their peers nationwide.

Join us for a webinar with the report's authors from the University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, who will describe the findings and their implications for older adults, families, communities, policymakers, and beyond. We'll hear more about older Michiganders' experiences, knowledge, and attitudes related to long-term care, along with how these compare to the nation as a whole.

We'll also take questions about what we know — and don’t know — about long-term care and older adults. The Michigan Health Endowment Fund will join to reflect on how this new information connects to its efforts to support older adults and their caregivers across the state, and a representative from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services will discuss forthcoming resources to help families understand the long-term care landscape and access the support they need.

The Michigan Poll on Healthy Aging, and its counterpart the National Poll on Healthy Aging, are based at the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and supported by the Michigan Health Endowment Fund and Michigan Medicine.
