Milwaukee County Disabilities Services Division currently has a waiting list of about 2,500 people between the ages of 18 to 59 who have disabilities and need long-term care services. The Planning Council assisted the County in planning for a managed long-term care system that would put an end to this lengthy wait for services.

This report provides a high level overview of the planning structure, activities, milestones, and results of Milwaukee County's Long-Term Care Planning process for adults with disabilities under age 60.
