About the Course:
Understand How the Public Benefits System Affects Your Practice
Barbara and Bill have been married for 40 years. Bill is a Korean War veteran. He starts developing a mild stage of Alzheimer’s. Their son fell off a ladder and broke his back and now receives disability benefits. Their daughter has never worked because she has a bipolar disorder. How does Barbara get Bill the best long-term care? What is the difference between the benefits their son and daughter receive? What does their home care provider need to know?
