Caregiver 101: Medicaid Elderly Waiver recap

At Heritage AAA’s Caregiver 101 event this morning we covered the basics of Medicaid’s Elderly Waiver program. Christy Casey from the Iowa Dept. of Health and Human Services shared her expertise on eligibility, the application process, types of care provided and more.

While the session was not recorded due to the personal nature of some questions and examples, we still have you covered with helpful resources on the topic from the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Click the links below to view the materials:
