[Redesigned System] Instead of separate nursing home and COP programs, Family Care will be one flexible benefit for all long-term care services. It will include COP, but will also cover nursing homes, other residential options, therapies and many other services and supports now available only under the Medicaid fee-for-service system. [Current System] 
COP is not the LTC system. The Community Options Program (COP) is one of the most effective and popular programs in Wisconsin, but it is only one small part of the state's long-term care system. COP provides care in people's own homes and other community settings, responding to the overwhelming preference of people with physical disabilities. And the average public cost for each person served in COP is 29% less than the average public cost of nursing home care ($60.64 vs. $85.85 average daily costs). So why would we want to do anything different with our long-term care policies?
