She has spoken nationally and internationally on the topic of caregiving and aging and serves as a resource to major media. \n  \n  \n  \nJacob Taitel\,  director of Research and Strategy at Paradigm Senior Services\, is a leading expert on Medicaid and VA programs for home-care agencies. His deep knowledge of policy\, compliance\, and reimbursement structures has helped agencies across the country navigate Medicaid regulations and the complexities of VA programs—including the Community Care Network\, VA Aid & Attendance\, and others.
