(a) There are many older Kansans who face difficulties in maintaining self-care and independent living within the mainstream of life;
(b) inappropriate or premature institutionalization of persons who have not exhausted their financial resources often leads to exhaustion of those resources and placement in more costly and limited long-term-care services; and
(c) it is in the interest of older Kansans and of providers of care that a coordinated system of services be developed; and
(d) it is in the interest of older Kansans and of providers of care that preventative health services be made available.
