The myriad bureaucratic hurdles to providing the best care for their loved ones often prove daunting and unnecessarily confusing. Each state tackles their medicaid program differently from their neighbors and the bewildering array of HMO and insurance programs make emotional decisions even more difficult. What key objectives should you and your family keep in mind when finding the most comfortable care for your loved ones? How do state and federal programs work alongside pension and retirement plans? The Alliance for Elder Care provides the information resources you will need to make the best and most informed choices.

The challenges confronting families and individuals who must care for their aging loved ones are among life’s most difficult. Though it may seem that emotional and economic circumstances often conspire to make things even harder, the Alliance of Eldercare was founded as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to health information as well as professional and governmental resources to help ease the burden on working families.

Is Your Parent a Veteran?

The US Veteran’s Administration provides substantial benefits for elderly veterans and the spouses of US Veterans that provide for a comfortable and independent retirement. These benefits provide for home health care, home caregiver assistance for groceries and maintenance, physical and speech therapy for home convalescence and many more. Unfortunately many elderly veterans are reluctant or unable to pursue these benefits due to lack of information or insufficient notification on the part of the Veterans’ Administration.

To address this the Veteran’s Administration will be expanding their outreach services to elderly veterans and their families to insure that our nation fulfills her obligation to her bravest sons. In addition to expanding the scope of benefits, the VA is making a more concerted effort to let veterans become aware of these benefits by their publications.
