Caregiver 101: Elderly Waiver

Caregiver 101 teaches the basics that every caregiver for older adults should know. This session will cover the Medicaid Elderly Waiver program with an expert guest speaker from the Iowa Dept. of Health and Human Services.

The Elderly Waiver empowers qualifying older adults to stay in their own home while receiving the long-term health care services they need. We’ll cover the Elderly Waiver application process, program requirements, levels of care provided and more.
