They will outline different homecare delivery options—such as agency-based care, client-directed models, self-managed care, and private hiring—along with the pros and cons of each. We will also walk through how to get started with government-supported homecare, including access, assessments, and case management. You’ll also get tips on how to choose the right provider, including what questions to ask and what red flags to watch for.
