Pennsylvania Long‑Term Care Council

The Pennsylvania Long-Term Care Council is charged with making recommendations on regulations, licensure, financing, or any other responsibilities of the departments and agencies that relate to the commonwealth’s long-term services and supports system. Established by Act 64 of 2015, the council replaces the Intra-Governmental Council on Long-Term Care in order to reflect today’s broader long-term care continuum. The scope of the council includes all areas of long-term care, including, but not limited to, institutional care and home and community-based services. Chaired by Secretary of Aging Robert Torres, the council is comprised of 35 members, including long-term care consumers, advocates, caregivers, providers, and policymakers.

Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Pennsylvania Long-Term Care Council's (Council) meetings will continue to be held remotely via WebEx until further notice. The start time will remain 10 a.m. Persons wishing to attend the meeting are asked to contact Sasha Santana at the Department of Aging at (717) 787-3368, ssantana@pa.gov.
