Whereas, the Long Term Care Sub-Committee was asked by the
Chairman of the Committee on Health and Human Resources to
consider long term care needs in our State; and

planning accordingly to meet expected needs and demands; and

has heard presentations by the Bureau of Senior Services, Bureau of

Disabilities Council, the Olmstead program, the West Virginia
Health Care Association and the Ombudsman Office; and
Whereas, the Long Term Care Sub-Committee will expire at the end of the 78
th Legislature; and
Whereas, Sub-Committee members feel that progress has already
been made in bringing long term care issues to the forefront and
believe that there is still much work needed to continue to improve
the health and care of the elderly and persons living with
disabilities in West Virginia; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the Long Term Care Sub-Committee be continued; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates is
