Free services

1. If we receive a completed Medicaid application that we approve and, if necessary, an application for a pooled income trust, we will set up Medicaid-pending home care with the same agency that will continue to provide home care once Medicaid is approved. Clients will thus not have to pay for home care while waiting for Medicaid to be approved and will not suffer the disruption of having new aides from new home care agencies once Medicaid is approved.
2. We will provide trainings for social workers, family caregivers and others about how to complete Medicaid applications and join pooled income trusts.
