This guide addresses three basic questions faced by families caring for aging relatives at home. What is home care? Where and how can it be obtained? What are the sources to pay for it? The book employs a question-and-answer style and a convenient outline format. A detailed table of contents and extensive indices of topics and terms facilitate readersâ search for information. When explaining long-term care at home, the author also gives in-depth overviews of traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans and prescription drug coverage, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, and long-term care insurance, among other subjects.
