Navigating home care can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to determine the right type of support for yourself or a loved one.

Participants will learn the difference between home healthcare and home care, the various types of services available, and how to evaluate providers.

 The program will also cover important topics such as costs and payment options, including private pay, long-term care insurance, veterans’ benefits, Medicaid, and disability resources. Additional discussion will include how to develop a care plan, and the pros and cons of hiring a caregiver through an agency versus privately.
