Sometimes receiving care from the comfort of your home is the best medicine. Whether you are recovering from surgery, facing a life limiting illness, need help with transportation to appointments, or just need companionship and an extra hand, home care could be the solution. If you are the primary caregiver for your loved one and you need a break from the demands of caregiving, home care can be an important part of your care team. This presentation will focus on the benefits of home care services and the differences between home care, home health care, and senior living. We will also discuss insurance coverage, out-of-pocket expenses, and how to get started.
Please welcome our Presenters: May Allen, Home Care Specialist, Capital City Nurses
Jeannie Finnegan, Geriatric Care Manager, Stanton Aging Solutions
