Navigating the Healthcare Highway

The seminar, "Navigating the Healthcare Highway," is designed to simplify the complex world of senior care by distinguishing between four main options. It will clearly define short-term rehab as intensive, temporary care focused on recovery after an illness or surgery, often covered by Medicare following a hospital stay. The session will contrast this with home healthcare, which provides skilled, intermittent medical care in a patient's home, and long-term care, which offers ongoing assistance with daily activities (ADLs) in various settings for an indefinite period. Finally, the seminar will explain hospice as specialized, comfort-focused care for a terminal illness, emphasizing that understanding these options is crucial for making informed, proactive decisions about your future health and well-being.
