Aging
and Disability Resource Centers serve the general public and offer
information and assistance on issues affecting
older people, people with disabilities, or their families.
The Family Care benefit is available through Managed
Care Organizations (MCOs). MCOs serve people in three primary target groups* who have a
long-term care condition expected to last for more than 90 days. The three
Family Care target groups are:
-
Frail Older Adults
(65 years or older, except in Milwaukee County*)
-
People with Physical Disabilities
(17 years, 9 months or older)
-
People with Developmental Disabilities
(17 years, 9 months or older)
(People with dementia and people with a terminal
condition
may also be eligible for Family Care.)
*Note: Milwaukee County only serves frail older adults who
are age 60 or older.
As
of August 1, 2008, there were approximately 14,675 people enrolled in
Family Care. View current enrollment
data by MCO.
