		AARP believes that Mississippi should develop a comprehensive long term care (LTC) system, which includes increased funding that emphasizes home and community-based care; be consumer directed; delivers quality care, coordinates health and long-term care; supports families; be accessible, efficient and coordinate with private funding.

		I believe seniors and the disabled should be given the assistance to remain viable members of their communities and maintain their dignity for as long as possible.
