In mid-February 2020, Alzheimer’s Orange County offered a webinar on senior care options, featuring social worker Nikki Barrett. She discussed what levels of care are available, from in-home care to skilled nursing; coverage by Medicare versus Medi-Cal; and the costs that can be associated with each level of care.
The webinar is not specifically about any disorder. However, the notes may be valuable to many of you, especially if you are new to caregiving.
The speaker’s handout summarizing the different care options is available for download here:
