Quarterly LTCC Meeting Minutes:

During our September 17th Long-Term Care Council (LTCC) meeting, we welcomed Jack Mance, Senior Transportation Planner with the Adirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Council, who shared valuable insights into how regional transportation planning supports our communities and opportunities to improve mobility throughout Warren, Washington, and Northern Saratoga counties. Following his presentation, partners participated in an engaging roundtable discussion focused on transportation barriers, accessibility challenges, service gaps, and potential solutions across Warren, Washington, Hamilton, and Northern Saratoga counties. The discussion highlighted the importance of collaboration, communication, and innovative approaches to creating more accessible and inclusive transportation options for individuals of all ages and abilities. Together, we continue to build stronger connections and work toward solutions that better serve our communities!

Our Washington-Warren-Hamilton Long Term Care Council is made up of consumers, caregivers, providers, advocates, government representatives (AAA directors, DSS commissioners), and key stakeholders (including Independent Living Centers) who come together to analyze the local long term services and supports system, identify gaps, duplication, and barriers in the system and make recommendations for improvements. Our Council uses our findings to work toward a system that is more streamlined, efficient, and responsive, helping individuals remain at home and in the community.
