AnnotationThis special issue of the Journal of Aging & Social Policy has as its overall title 'Individual financial preparation for long-term care', and presents findings relating to Maryland's Individual Long-Term Care Planning Survey. This introductory article outlines the implications of demographic changes for long-term care and long-term financing. It discusses alternative programmes and proposals for funding long-term care, and notes how encouraging personal preparedness through public-private partnerships is an emerging theme in the state. The Outreach Empowerment Campaign, under which the Individual Long-Term Care Planning Survey was conducted, has failed in its aim of educating the population on how to prepare adequately for retirement and long-term care.
