Navigating home-care funding can be complex for families and the professionals who support them. This webinar provides an overview of key funding options, including federal, state, veteran, and private-pay models. Learn how the “stackability” of funds expands access to in-home care and respite services, and how respite can be positioned as preventive clinical support. Attendees will leave better equipped to guide families toward funding pathways that promote independence, caregiver stability, and safety at home.
Participants in this webinar will be able to:
- Identify major home-care and caregiver funding models, including Medicare’s GUIDE program, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, and public and private pay options.
- Explain how multiple funding sources can be used concurrently to expand access to in-home care and respite services.
- Reframe respite care as preventive clinical support by linking its use to health and patient safety.
