Former Commission on Long-Term Care Residences

On March 21, 2017, the Arlington County Board voted to merge the Commission on Long-Term Care Residences in to the Commission on Aging.

The Commission on Long-Term Care Residences, now part of the Commission on Aging (effective March 2017) advises the Arlington County Board on issues related to long-term care residences in Arlington. It seeks to enhance the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care residences and supports access, availability, and affordability in such residences.

The Commission’s charge is to:

Enhance the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care residences in Arlington County
Advise public officials about long-term care needs in Arlington County
Support access, availability, and affordability in long-term care residences in Arlington County

The Commission appoints members to serve as a liaison with each of the long-term care residences in Arlington. The liaisons serve as a link between the residence and the Commission and inform the administrators about County and community resources.
