Approaching the Issue of Long-Term Care for Persons with AIDS in Ohio

AIDS & Public Policy Journal 3, no. 4 (1988): 31-33
Sally A. Boales

In April 1987, the AIDS Long-Term Care Task Force was established by the Ohio Department of Health. This group included representatives from the Ohio Department of Human Services (Medicaid), the Ohio Hospital Association, local health departments, task forces, three of the largest nursing home organizations, hospices, home health groups, representatives of a community home for PWAs, three PWAs, and the Ohio Nurses Association. Four meetings were held, the last in July 1987. It was apparent that a continuum of care must be developed to provide for the long-term care needs of PWAs, with the care setting being determined by the individual's care needs. The following information is based on the recommendations of the AIDS Long-Term Care Task Force.
