119-B. Life Plan Community Update

Two influential forces drive legislative activities in life plan community oversight: consumer advocacy groups and LeadingAge. Working closely with its state partners, LeadingAge proactively tracks legislative and consumer advocacy activities and supports efforts to protect life plan communities and the older adults they serve. This session will provide a thorough review of current state and federal activities related to life plan communities. An expert panel will discuss the implications of these activities for providers, explore the role that LeadingAge and its state partners are taking to influence those activities, and look ahead to anticipate strategic preparations that must take place now to secure the life plan community model for the future.
