The range of home health care services an individual can receive at home is limitless. However, it’s important to do some homework to know the differences and which is the best option for you or your loved one. This class will give you a better understand of the services and answer common questions. What are the signs of when an aging adult may need more help at home? What is the difference between non-medical and medical care services provided at home? What are some private pay options verses Medicare coverage for home care?
