Waiting list for services wiped out in Racine County
A shortage of long-term care services has had hundreds of Racine County residents on waiting lists, some for as long as 10 years. Community Care was contracted by the state Department of Health and Family Services beginning in January 2007 to work toward eliminating waiting lists for all long-term care services within three to five years. At the end of August 2007, the waiting lists in Racine were eliminated.

Community Care’s role has been to expand access to community-based long-term care services for low-income seniors and people with disabilities, including those on waiting lists, as well as those previously receiving services through Racine County.
