Inside intelligence you will need to make informed decisions, financially and compassionately, when caring for aging loved ones-whether they are living at home, in a care facility, or in the hospital or hospice care. Do you have a parent or aging loved one nearing or in the most fragile years of life? Are you considering in-home care for them? Assisted living? A nursing home? Have they endured repeated hospitalizations, or are they facing major surgery? Are they refusing to give up their independence? Do they have adequate savings to pay for care? Are they getting the right Medicare, Medicaid, or VA benefits? This book by a veteran care management professional will help you secure the best possible care.
