Journeys in Long-Term Care...is an illuminating and compassionate answer to one of America's most difficult questions: How can ordinary people actually access and manage long-term care?

- Clay Farris, Chief Growth Officer, and Founder of MostlyMedicaid

Journeys in Long-Term Care provides essential resources and insights while illustrating real-world examples of individuals navigating this complex system.

Meulemans gives you up to date knowledge from 25 years of experience in Medicaid policy and Medicaid managed care contracting, managed the sale of Medicare health plans, and was a consultant involved in Affordable Care Act implementation. In addition he share the real-life long-term care journeys of three families.

Everyone is eventually affected by aging, whether it's yourself or a loved one, so the more you know about resources and programs, the smoother the process will be. Pick up Journey's in Long-Term Care and arm yourself with the best information for you and your loved ones.
