State Launches Plan-For-Later-Years Campaign



(Undated)  --  There's a good chance you'll be getting a letter from Governor Mark Dayton in the next few days.  The state has kicked-off a campaign urging everyone between the ages of 40 and 65 to starting preparing for long-term care.  Craig Roers (roars) with the state's special task force says studies show 70 percent of all long-term care now is provided in people's homes -- the exact opposite of when people think "nursing home."  Roers notes state programs like Medical Assistance don't kick in until a person is basically destitute.
