AARP Ranks Maine in Top Ten in Long-Term Care Survey

Tom Porter

A new national scorecard released today by the AARP and other groups looks at how different states are doing when it comes to providing the long-term care needs of older residents.  The study - called "Raising Expectations" - is an updated version of an original scorecard produced three years ago. Maine ranks 10th overall, an impressive showing - but no reason to be complacent, warns AARP state Director Lori Parham, who spoke with Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter.
