Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Description: 90% of adults want to age in place—but most families don’t know how to navigate the healthcare system to make that happen. In this episode, Charles and JT break down the essential differences between Home Health, Personal Care, Hospice, and Palliative Care.
We discuss:
- The Insurance Gaps: What Medicare pays for and what falls on the family.
- Skilled vs. Non-Skilled Care: Understanding who needs a doctor’s order and who doesn’t.
- Patient Stories: Real-world examples of ALS, Stroke, and Parkinson’s care.
- Durable Medical Equipment (DME): How to get the walkers, beds, and supplies you need.
Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or just planning for the future, this episode is your roadmap to understanding healthcare at home.
