5. Long Term Care Reform implementation schedule and impact on LTS operations 2008-
2013: Handout by Lockwood. Implementation is scheduled to begin in St Croix County
September 1, 2008. One sixth of all current Waiver participants will be converted to Community
Health Partnership participation each month for the first six months of program implementation.
However, because the state is certifying only one managed care entity at this time, Waiver
program participants will be able to opt out and stay in the fee for service system through a Self -
Directed Supports Waiver administered by a state -wide management consultation entity yet to
be determined. This new Self Directed Supports (SDS) Waiver will replace the current Waiver
1
system administered by county government. Federal rules require this alternative waiver to be in
place by July 1, 2008. Discussion.
6. Aging and Disability Resource Center Update: The design of the ADRC is still being
worked on. The application is planned to be sent in by February 2008. Discussion.
7. Kjersti Duncan, Director, Department on Aging — Program Report: Duncan stated the
Hudson newspaper had a great cover story on consumers. The caregiver conference was in
November. Secret Santa operation was going on. Open enrollment for Medicare Part D. In
November, the Elderly Benefit Specialist assisted 50 people with their Medicare Part D plans,
13 staying with their current plan and 37 switching to a more beneficial plan with more savings.
