About the Center
The University of Minnesota National LTC Resource Center was founded in 1989 under operating grants from the United States Administration on Aging (AOA) to provide technical assistance, training, perform research and development, and disseminate information to assist States, Area Agencies on Aging, and the Aging Network to develop effective long-term care and long-term support systems.

Under the direction of Rosalie A. Kane and with the support of research sponsors, the Center continues with research and development, policy analysis, and information dissemination in community care for seniors and people with disabilities.
